Leather Needles for Domestic Sewing Machines NZ
Shop Schmetz, Singer and Janome leather needles for compatible domestic sewing machines. Match the cutting-point needle system and size to your machine, leather and thread. Check material thickness and test a seam on an offcut; a leather needle does not increase the machine's capacity.
Match your domestic machine
Confirm the household needle system in your manual and the size range it accepts. Industrial leather machines require their own specified systems. Choose the size for your leather, thread and layers, within the machine's stated capacity.
Test the material and seam
Leather cutting points make permanent holes and can cut woven or knitted yarns. Follow the needle's material guidance; backed imitation leather may need a different needle. Test the complete seam on an offcut, including any reverse stitching.
