SCHMETZ 134 VR, 135x8 R TW SP Industrial Sewing Machine Needles for Leather, 10 pcs.

134 VR, 135x8 R TW SP are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles with a diamond-shaped slanted cutting point, designed for decorative seams in hard, dry leather. The VR point combines pronounced cutting action with a precise stitch line that slants slightly to the left.

Features of the VR cutting point

VR (Reverse Twist Spear Point) is a diamond-shaped slanted cutting point with four cutting edges. It creates a cut at approximately 45° to the needle insertion direction.

The VR cutting point has a more pronounced cutting action than a comparable LR cutting point. The four cutting edges help pierce hard leather precisely, reduce the risk of needle deflection, and produce an even seam.

The stitches in the seam slant slightly to the left, creating a decorative effect.

Suitable materials and applications

• Hard, dry natural leather.
• Firm leather for shoemaking.
• Leather bags and suitcases.

Compatibility and needle selection

Designed for industrial sewing machines whose technical documentation specifies the compatible 134 VR or 135x8 R TW SP needle system. Before purchasing, check the system and choose an NM size suitable for the leather thickness and sewing thread.

Recommendation: Choose a VR cutting point for harder, drier leather when you need a decorative seam and more pronounced cutting action than with an LR point. Before sewing, check the seam appearance on a sample of the specific leather.
