Schmetz Leather Needle 110/18 (130/705 H LL)

Schmetz Leather Needle 110/18 (130/705 H LL)

You can tell right from the packaging what these needles are made for: a piece of brown leather with a tight stitch line, stitched with exactly this needle. The five needles sit neatly arranged in the recognizable white Schmetz box, each marked with a yellow band to identify the size. Once you look closely at the point, you'll immediately see the difference from a regular needle - this is a true leather needle with a distinctive shape, not a universal needle with a leather label on it.

Product Features:

• Item Number: NADEL110LED
• Full package: 5 needles per pack. 20 packs per box

What makes a leather needle different

A leather needle has a wedge-shaped point instead of the round or slightly curved point you see on standard needles. That wedge cuts its way through the leather rather than pushing the fibers to the side, giving you a neat, even stitch without the material tearing or wrinkling. With thicker leather or faux leather, this prevents the needle from bending or breaking while stitching. The 110/18 size is a sturdy gauge that works well with medium to heavy leather and similar materials that have some weight to them. Thanks to the yellow marking ring, you'll recognize this size immediately in your needle box, even if you have several leather needle sizes on hand.

Uses and projects

You use these needles wherever you need to stitch through leather or similar materials without the needle getting stuck or damaging the fabric. Think about:
