Description

Features:
Needle System: 130/705 H DH
Size: 100/16
Point Shape: Half-triangular (cutting point)
Color Code: Brown (top marking) and Purple (bottom marking for size 100/16)
Suitable Materials:
Leather
Heavy artificial leather
Paper (e.g., for thin booklets)
Not suitable for woven or knitted fabrics, as it may cut through the material during sewing.
Tips for Use:
Use a longer stitch length to avoid tearing the material.
When securing the end of the seam, make sure not to cut the sewing thread.
For soft artificial leather, it's recommended to try a Microtex needle first, as the DH leather needle may damage the material and create visible holes more easily.
