Key features of the Leather Needle:

The cutting point LL (twist point) cuts easily through leather and similar materials thanks to its cutting action. It also creates an angled stitching line, which gives the seam a decorative look.
Please note: Leather Needles are NOT suitable for textiles due to their cutting effect, as woven or knitted fabrics can be severed during sewing.
Choose a longer stitch length to stop the stitches being torn out. When locking the seam, make sure that the sewing thread is not severed.
Tip: The longer the stitch length, the easier it is to see the angled appearance of the stitch and, as a result, the decorative effect of the seam. This effect can be enhanced further by using a thick sewing thread.
