SCHMETZ DPx5 SUK, 134 SUK Industrial Sewing Machine Needles for Knitwear and Denim, 10 pcs

DPx5 SUK, 135x5 SUK are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles for knits, denim, and medium-heavy or heavy fabrics. The rounded ball point of the SUK helps push fabric threads aside and reduce the risk of damaging them.

SUK needle point features

SUK (Medium Ball Point) has a medium-rounded ball point. It is more rounded than SES and helps penetrate the material by pushing aside knit loops or fabric threads.

SUK is suitable for coarser materials, including denim. SCHMETZ also specifically recommends this point type for sewing stonewashed and sandwashed denim, using an appropriate needle size.

Suitable materials

• Medium-heavy and heavy knits.
• Medium-weight and heavy denim.

• Corsets and corset-style garments.

Compatibility and needle selection

These needles are designed for industrial sewing machines that use the corresponding needle system. Before purchasing, check the system designation and choose an NM size suited to the material thickness and sewing thread.

Recommendation: For finer knits, compare SUK with SES; for very coarse or highly elastic knits, compare it with SKF and SKL point types.
