Schmetz Leather Needle 120/19 (130/705 H LL) - set of 5

Schmetz Leather Needle 120/19 (130/705 H LL)

In the photo you'll see the familiar white Schmetz packaging with the brown leather effect, a sign you're dealing with specialist sewing equipment. The five needles sit neatly in the clear plastic case, shiny silver with the distinctive yellow and brown color coding on the shaft. You'll recognize these needles right away by their special ground shape, made to pierce thick, sturdy materials cleanly without tearing or deflecting.

About this needle

A leather needle has a triangular, ground point instead of the usual round tip. That cutting point makes a small slit in the material rather than pushing fibers aside, which is exactly what you want with leather and similar materials. Size 120/19 is the heavier gauge in this range, suitable for firm and thick leather where a finer needle would quickly break or bend. The chrome finish and sturdy shaft provide stability during sewing, even through stubborn layers. Needle system 130/705 H LL fits virtually every household sewing machine with a standard needle clamp.
