Schmetz 1785 ledernaalden maat 100/16

I’ve been sewing through two layers of faux leather for a tote bag and the left twist cutting point went through cleanly on the first pass, no skipped stitches or dragging. The 100/16 size is sturdy enough that I didn’t break a single one on a thick seam, which has never happened with my old needles

Finally, a needle that actually pierces my heavy non-woven synthetics without skipping stitches—the left twist cutting point is a lifesaver. I can already tell these will last through several more projects.

I've been sewing through some thick faux leather for a new bag and these needles punch through cleanly without tearing the material. The left twist cutting point really makes a difference for that precise hole.
