buko Report post 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!

Pintodeluxe Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Wiz. 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RhodesAveDesigns Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call Bob Kovar, at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines (866-362-7397) and ask if he has some in stock. I've been to his shop and am here to tell you there be needles there!

jackalopes Report post Posted January 29, 2021 Does anyone have a current source for 135x16 LR needles? I've called Bob a few times and have left messages to no avail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackalopes Report post Posted February 12, 2021 It looks like the Organ 135X16 DPX16 Leather Needles do in fact have an LR or RTW. On some listings, the point type is not stated, but the MFG PN does state LR point. I hope this helps someone in the future! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773KBM6N/ref=twister_B0773KS1L8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
