SCHMETZ DPx5 LR is an industrial sewing machine needle for leather with LR (Reverse Twist) cutting point. The needle cut is at an ~45° angle to the thread direction, so the seam on leather looks decoratively slanted (slight left slant) with a clean, distinct cut. Chrome coating reduces friction and heat, ensuring long service life in intensive production.

🧵 Suitable materials

  • All types of natural and synthetic leather
  • Leather combined with textiles (bags, linings, belts)
  • Thicker coated materials (e.g., automotive upholstery, bag parts)

✨ Where LR shines

  • Decorative/topstitch seams on leather with a sleek, even slant
  • Footwear and apparel industry, leather upholstery
  • Sewing bags, suitcases, car seats

🎯 LR (Reverse Twist) advantages

  • Clearly cut stitch without leather pulling
  • Aesthetically slanted seam – perfect for decoration and visible topstitching
  • Stable stitch even with thicker threads

🧶 Thread recommendations for leather

Choose needle and thread size based on leather thickness and desired effect (the thicker the material, the larger the NM and thread tex):

  • For decorative/topstitch seams: polyester or polyamide approx. tex 75–150 (No. 20–8) with needle NM 120–160
  • For medium thickness leather: polyester approx. tex 50–75 (No. 40–30) with needle NM 110–140

🔧 Compatibility

Suitable for industrial lockstitch machines designed for 134 series needles.
