Machine Needles - Leather - Sizes 90/14 or 110/18 (5 per pkg)

Take on tough sewing projects with precision and strength. Schmetz Leather Needles in sizes 90/14 and 110/18 are engineered for heavy materials like genuine leather, thick faux leather, suede, and coated fabrics. These needles feature a specialized LL (left twist) cutting point that cleanly slices through tough surfaces rather than punching, allowing for crisp, uniform holes and a professional finish.

The LL point also forms a decorative angled stitch line that’s especially effective when using thick threads and longer stitch lengths—perfect for creating standout seams in bags, belts, upholstery, and other rugged projects.

These needles are not suitable for knit or woven fabrics, as the sharp cutting tip can tear or damage textile fibers. For soft faux leather or coated fabrics with stretch, consider using a Microtex or Stretch Needle instead.

Key Features:

• LL Cutting Point – Slices through leather and similar materials with minimal resistance

• Heavy-Duty Strength – Made from premium hardened steel to tackle thick layers without bending or breaking

• Decorative Stitching – Left twist point creates angled, visible seams with a strong, stylized look

• Precision Piercing – Cleanly cuts stitch holes, preventing bunching or skipped stitches

• Compatible with All Home Machines – Fits all major brands including Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, and more

Available Sizes:

• 90/14 – Best for medium to thick leather, multi-layer projects, belts, and structured accessories

• 110/18 – Ideal for extra-thick leather, upholstery, and industrial-level home sewing applications

Suggested Uses:

• Leather bags, wallets, and belts

• Heavy faux leather upholstery or outerwear

• Suede and coated canvas

• Multimedia or craft projects using heavy paper, cork, or vinyl

Maker's Tip:
For the best results, use a longer stitch length and avoid backstitching at the beginning or end of seams (tie off threads instead) to reduce thread stress and preserve the material. Use thick thread to enhance the visibility of the decorative angled stitch.
