DPx17 SUK, 135x17 SUK — SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles for knitwear and denim, 10 pcs.

DPx17 SUK, 135x17 SUK are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles with a medium ball point, designed for knits, denim, and coarser textiles. The SUK point helps push fabric threads and knit loops aside, reducing the risk of damage during sewing.

SUK needle point features

SUK (Medium Ball Point) is a medium ball point needle tip. It is more rounded than SES and designed for coarser materials where it is important to push threads and knit loops aside.

SUK is especially suitable for medium-weight and heavy denim, including stonewashed and sandwashed denim fabrics. Choosing the right needle size helps ensure consistent seam quality, even in thicker materials.

Compatibility and needle selection

These needles are designed for industrial sewing machines with a DPx17 or 135x17 needle system. Before purchasing, compare the system designation with your sewing machine manual and choose an NM size suitable for the material thickness and sewing thread.

Recommendation: For fine knits, consider the SES point type. For medium-coarse and coarse knits or heavier denim, SUK may be the more suitable choice. Test the stitch quality on a sample of the material before sewing.
