These industrial needles have shanks that are completely round (home needles have one flat side). These are very high quality needles, i.e., without burrs which can cause the spearing of thread.
"SD1" Needles — Optimized for fine leather or clothing leather. Also works well for super heavy sailcloth assemblies. Smaller cutting point than "DI" needle. Partially cuts and then pushes the fibers out of the way.
Needle sizes are listed two ways, e.g., a #12 needle is also an 80 needle. See the table below to determine which thread and needle to use.
