Members buko Posted October 18, 2017 Members Report Posted October 18, 2017 I just bought a Consew 206rb and I'm in the process of getting it ready for leatherwork. Studying all the great posts on this site it looks like I will mostly use size 138 thread for much of what I want to do. Looking at the Groz Beckert guide, it looks like I want the LR points to approximate the look of a saddle stitch but I can't seem to find the size 22 (for the 138 thread) in stock anywhere online. Searching this forum it appears to be a common problem. That said, can anyone recommend a different manufacturer that makes a similar slanted point in that size? Thanks! Quote
Members Pintodeluxe Posted October 18, 2017 Members Report Posted October 18, 2017 You might try Schmetz needles. They have 135x16 needles in size 22 in a myriad of tip styles. They might have the type you're after. I had to special order mine. Quote

I have plenty of needles in all sizes but I was specifically looking for the "LR" or "LL" needles that add a slant to the stitch as shown in this picture from the Groz Beckert brocure: Quote
Members RhodesAveDesigns Posted November 16, 2017 Members Report Posted November 16, 2017 Hey- Did you ever get hold of some #22 LR needles? I have a good number of DIA and TRI, but can't find LR in anything larger than a #19 or #20 (#21 or #23 would be OK as well, but insane s&h charges aren't). - Elizabeth Quote
