SCHMETZ Jersey Ball Point 130/705 H-SUK
SCHMETZ Leather 130/705 H-LL

This is the twist-point (cutting point) needle made for leather, faux leather, paper and heavy non-woven synthetics: the point cuts through the material instead of pushing it aside, which is the correct way to pierce leather without tearing it. It belongs to the 130/705 H-LL system and comes in five sizes, from Nm 70 to Nm 110, to match the thickness of the material.
The cut the point leaves in the material stays visible even once the thread is removed, so a wrong stitch cannot be undone without a trace: it is worth testing on a scrap piece before sewing the real one. It should not be used on knits or woven fabrics, where the cutting point would damage the fibres instead of sliding between them.

Worth knowing
