SCHMETZ 30 Pk. 135X17 DPX17 Industrial Walking Foot Sewing Machine Needles (19 (Metric Size 120))

Great needles for my Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ Walking Foot Sewing Machine.

Good delivery high quality needle this size woks well on the thread / fabric combo I find myself using most often

I recently got an industrial machine for bag making. I’ve used SCHMETZ for my domestic machines for years. These were shipped quickly and are good quality. Groz-Beckert needles are good too, and a little cheaper. I like that the GB plastic containers snap together and are fully encased. The SCHMETZ don’t have covers, and that’s my only complaint.

Exactly the right size for sewing on a Sailrite LSZ-1 with heavy (135wt equivalent) Tenara thread. If you are the one in a million who’s trying to use this setup, the trick is to rotate the needle 20° clockwise, so the thread properly loops for the sewing machine hook).
