Help finding 135x16 200

Hi y’all!

I am trying to find 135x16 needles in size nm 25/200 and 24/180, with the LR point. It feels like I have been through the whole internet only to find 180 as a “special order” at Schmetz, and only for us citizens, the 200 seems impossible to find - maybe there aren’t any? Do you have any ideas or do you know where I can find some? I am in Sweden so buying the needles from the same store/place would be best cause Of shipping but I am getting frustrated and anything will do as this point. 

 

Many thanks in advance!

What machine are you using that you need such a big needle size in 135x16? Are you sure the machine can handle the thread thickness you need for a 180 or 200 needle?

Anyway - as an alternative needle try to locate 134-35 needles with leather tip - same shaft size but just s a bit shorter than 135x16. Only thing you have to do is lowering the needle bar.

Check out Gross-Beckert and Organ brand needle suppliers on Ebay.

Hi!

I am using a Seiko LCW-8BL, the machine should be able to handle it  I have an Pfaff 335 with the 134-35 system so I might use them if I can’t anyones in the 135X16 system. Thank you for your help!

There is nothing on the Groz-Beckerts website, I’ve looked before. And I can’t find the any of the sellers on eBay, can you link something?

I searched for a while and this is the best source I can come up with at this time. https://sew-europe.com/schmetz.htm

The list Schmetz and Gross Beckert on the home page.

I hope this helps.

Nothing there either :/ Dimond point I have found in 180 and 200. But that’s not what I am looking fore.

Do you want an inline S point, or some slanted chisel point? Schmetz makes the S point in system 134-35. I have a pack I use once in a while on my Singer walking foot machines. My machines are timed so that I can use these slightly shorter needles and not skip stitches, but only on one direction machines. If your machine has reverse you might want to lower the needle bar 1/2 mm or so to put the eye at the same position as the system 135x16 needles. Machines with reverse are more finicky when it comes to timing in both directions.

Really interesting reading and a ton of help. I have a few other points on needles but the LR is my favorite

Great stuff but that’s not the point I am looking for. The LR point is what I need 

[shoepatcher]

Call Diamond Needle in NJ.  They carry Organ needles which I have used for years.  Good needles despite what some people say.  Only G-B and Organ make Titanium coated needs which are fabulous.  i use both and have found no difference between them.  I do not use Schmetz any more because of that.

i looked off and on for a couple YEARS, and i never did find 135x16s in LR.  I like those LR needles too.

I’ll send them in email. I’m in Sweden so communication is easier that way

when your Pfaff is using 134-35 - why not setting up both machines for that needle system? You only have to stock 1 needle system (it´s cheaper on the long view) and don´t have to worry to mix up needles (it happens).

BTW College Sewing has 134-35 LR in 180 and 200

ARMASTORE in Latvia has 134-35 LR in 180 at a super price for 100 needles:

Other than that STRIMA in Poland has 135x16 with DIA tip in 180 and 200:

Great idea. I might do that and use the same system on both machines. Thank you for the help, I appreciate it!

Sure.  Post it here, as others likely want to know too.
