Schmetz system 190 needles suit machines specifically set up for this needle family. Choose Sharp for the 190 R normal round point or Leather for the 190 LR cutting point. The two choices work differently in the material, so confirm the machine system, point and size before ordering. Select Sharp or Leather, then choose the required size from the options above. Schmetz 190 R packaging shown; select Sharp or Leather and size above. 190Needle family R or LRPoint choice Select sizeMatch your work Choose it for your project Textile sewing Choose the R option for suitable woven materials when your machine specifies system 190 and your sample sews cleanly.Leather work Choose LR where a leather-cutting point is required. Test the finished stitch appearance on an offcut of the actual leather.Decorative leather seams The LR point can produce a slightly slanted stitch appearance. Thread, stitch length and machine setup also affect the result. Product details Supplied Schmetz needles in your selected point and size Sharp option 190 R / MTX190 Leather option 190 LR / MTX190 LR R point Normal round point LR point Reverse-twist leather cutting point Choose the required option in the selector above. Each selection is supplied separately; this is not a set of every size shown. Before you start Identify the exact needle system in your machine manual, then select the point and size. Switch off the machine; insert and thread the replacement needle as directed in the machine instructions. Test the same material layers and thread, checking both sides of the seam before continuing. The Leather option cuts material and is not a substitute for a textile needle. Do not select by machine brand alone. Good to know Are Sharp and Leather the same needle? They share the 190 family but have different points: R is round-point and LR is leather-cutting. Will system 190 fit any heavy-duty machine? No. Heavy-duty describes a use, not needle dimensions. The machine must specifically require the system.
