Description

SCHMETZ – A company with tradition
Sewing machine needles have been at the heart of everything we do since 1851.
We continue to craft our needles with incredible care and attention to detail because we strongly believe that a good sewing machine needle can make the difference.
As a partner to amateur sewers around the world, we want to contribute to the success of countless craft projects.
That’s why our goal at SCHMETZ is: Precision and inspiration for the perfect stitch.
Key features of the Leather Needle:
The cutting point LL (twist point) cuts easily through leather and similar materials thanks to its cutting action.
It also creates an angled stitching line, which gives the seam a decorative look.
Please note: Leather Needles are NOT suitable for textiles due to their cutting effect, as woven or knitted fabrics can be severed during sewing.
Choose a longer stitch length to stop the stitches being torn out. When locking the seam, make sure that the sewing thread is not severed.
Tip:
The longer the stitch length, the easier it is to see the angled appearance of the stitch and, as a result, the decorative effect of the seam. This effect can be enhanced further by using a thick sewing thread.

Tip: It's easy to test whether a needle needs to be changed or not.
To determine whether a needle needs to be replaced or not, move your finger over the needle point from all sides. (Caution: take care not to pierce the skin).
Can you feel any irregularities? If yes, then the needle is no longer intact and should be replaced.
If the needle is slightly bent, there is also a risk that it will hit the needle plate when sewing and break – we recommend changing it in this case, too.
How often should I change my needle?
We recommend that you change the needle after approx. 8 hours of sewing time.
At first glance, a sewing time of 8 hours seems very short.
So, why should you change your needle regularly?
Needles are a consumable item that is subjected to extreme stress during the sewing process.
Over time, the needle will wear out despite high-quality workmanship and special coatings, and the quality of your stitches will deteriorate.
Worn or damaged needles often lead to:
Frayed threads or thread breakage
Skipped stitches or uneven stitches
Seam puckering
Damaged textiles
Knocking noises while sewing
