135x16 Leather Point Industrial Sewing Machine Needles

Precision Needles for Professional Leather Sewing

The 135x16 leather point needle is specifically designed for sewing leather, vinyl, suede, synthetic leather, and other non-woven materials on industrial walking foot and compound feed sewing machines. Unlike standard round-point needles that push through material, the cutting-point tip of the 135x16 cleanly slices through leather, creating smoother penetration, straighter stitches, and reducing skipped stitches and thread breakage.

Trusted by upholstery shops, leatherworkers, automotive trim professionals, marine canvas fabricators, and manufacturers, 135x16 needles deliver the durability and stitch quality required for demanding industrial sewing applications.

Designed for Leather & Heavy Materials

The cutting-point tip creates a clean slit in leather rather than forcing fibers apart, reducing sewing resistance and producing professional-looking seams.

• Chrome-tanned leather
• Vegetable-tanned leather
• Upholstery leather
• Garment leather
• Synthetic leather
• Vinyl
• Marine vinyl

Choosing Between 135x16 and 135x17 Needles

The 135x16 features a leather cutting point designed specifically for leather, vinyl, and other non-woven materials.

For woven fabrics such as canvas, denim, upholstery fabric, and textiles, use the 135x17 round point needle, which separates fabric fibers rather than cutting them.

Using the correct needle point improves stitch quality, extends needle life, and helps prevent unnecessary damage to your materials.
