134 LBR — SCHMETZ Industrial Sewing Machine Needles for Leather, 10 pcs.

134 LBR are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles with a wide, slanted cutting point, designed for distinctive decorative seams on leather goods. The LBR point helps create a raised stitch line, with stitches angled slightly to the left.

Features of the LBR cutting point

LBR (Wide Reverse Twist Point) is a wide, slanted cutting point with a lenticular cross-section. It makes a cut at an angle of approximately 45° to the direction of needle penetration.

Unlike the standard LR cutting point, the cutting action of the LBR extends beyond the needle diameter. This creates a raised, decorative seam with a more pronounced stitch appearance.

SCHMETZ particularly recommends this cutting point for decorative seams that are an important part of a leather product's design.

Suitable materials and applications

• Various types of genuine leather.
• Leather garments with distinctive decorative topstitching.
