SCHMETZ 134 LL, 135x8 TW Industrial Sewing Machine Needles for Leather, 10 pcs.

134 LL, 135x8 TW are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles with an LL slanted cutting point, designed to create straight, neat seams in leather. The LL point helps produce a slightly recessed stitch line and is especially suitable for shoemaking and shoe repair.

LL cutting point features

LL (Twist Point) is a slanted cutting point with a lenticular cross-section. It creates a cut at an angle of approximately 135° to the needle insertion direction.

This cutting shape helps produce a mostly straight, slightly recessed seam. LL and LR cutting points cut in opposite directions, so they create different stitch appearances.

LL is suitable for leather goods that require a precise, straight seam without a pronounced decorative slant.

Compatibility and needle selection

Designed for industrial sewing machines whose technical documentation specifies the compatible 134 LL or 135x8 TW needle system. Before purchasing, check the system and the required NM size.

Recommendation: Choose LL for straight, slightly recessed seams in leather. If you need a decorative slant to the left, compare it with the LR cutting point. The actual seam appearance may be affected by the needle insertion direction, so test the result on a leather sample first.
