Members CustomDoug Posted September 1, 2012 Author Members Report Posted September 1, 2012 Hi all, Had the same questions about different points their effect on stitch looks. The best info i found was on at Groz-Beckertt.com. They have a downloadable pdf that is an excelent reference guide to needle points and their effects. Gump. Thanks Gump, here's the link to that ref guide: http://groz-beckert.com/website/media/en/media_master_376_low.pdf . They seem to agree with Schmetz on the angle of LL and LR. Unfotunately they both contradicting with Campbell-Bosworth. Does Campbell produce their own needles? If not, who's do they sell? They seem to use the same illustrated symbol to describe the hole made, but they are labeled opposite. Can someone check to see if I'm not looking at this wrong? thanks.

Members red3 Posted September 4, 2012 Members Report Posted September 4, 2012 I use a "S" needle 794 S 200 for my 277 thread. Gives me a great straight stitch line. Looks much better than the LL or the LR Where did you get the "S" 794 needles from? I have been looking for them all over and no luck so far.......thanks in advance Quote
mlapaglia Posted September 4, 2012 Report Posted September 4, 2012 Where did you get the "S" 794 needles from? I have been looking for them all over and no luck so far.......thanks in advance I am not sure where I got them. I bought 10) 794 S 200 and 10) 794 S 180 when I did get them so its been a while. You can get them from Bob @ Toledo industrial Machines. He should have them in stock 1-866-362-7397. He has a lot of needles and other stuff. One of the advertisers on this forums too. They have a website but its better to just call him and ask. Zack White also has them listed on his site. they are $1.80 ea. I have not used him but they are a advertiser on this site and I have never heard bad things about them. Let me know if you cant get one from either of these two places.

dirtclod Posted September 4, 2012 Report Posted September 4, 2012 I'm trying to decide between the LL and LR shaped machine needles for leather and was wondering and hoping that I could see some examples of the stitch patterns that they lay down. I read somewhere that Schemtz made these needles and supposedly there were videos showing these patterns (among all the various different points they offer), but I can not find it on their website. Does anyone know of the link? Also, are there any other brands I should look to? Pictures possibly? Mostly looking for the 135x16 system in various sizes. Thanks in advance. Buy a pack of each one and see what you like the best. They don't cost much. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
