Industrial sewing machine needles SCHMETZ DPx17 (135x17) S for leather - 10 pcs.

SCHMETZ DPx17 S and also known as 135X17 S, SY 3355 S, 135X16 TW, DPX16 are industrial sewing machine needles for leather with an S (Narrow Cross Point) point. This needle point creates a very straight, clean stitch because the cut into the material is made perpendicular to the direction of the thread. Ideally suited for precise seams on leather without tearing the material. Chrome coating provides reduced friction and higher durability for heavy-duty use.

🧵 Suitable materials

• Natural and synthetic leather
• Leather goods with multiple layers
• Textiles combined with leather (linings, bags, accessories)
