SCHMETZ is expanding its range with the 134 Universal Needle
The 134 (R) needle system is a standard needle for industrial high-speed sewing machines and can also be used for certain high-speed models of household sewing machines. SCHMETZ has developed an optimized version of the needle for this application: The 134 Universal Needle (134 U).
The SCHMETZ 134 Universal Needle combines the precision of the 134 (R) industrial needle with the versatility of the Universal Needle 130/705 H for the household sector. Its specially developed geometry is perfectly tailored to the requirements of high-speed models in the medium speed range. It allows for better, more precise loop formation and, at the same time, offers stability that is perfectly tailored to high-speed models of household sewing machines – striking the ideal balance between household and industrial machine needle.
The result? High quality seams and maximum reliability for demanding sewing projects.
The 134 Universal Needle has a slightly rounded point. It is designed to penetrate materials gently and effortlessly without damaging them. This means that the 134 U can be used with countless common fabrics without any problems.
In addition, the slight rounding extends the service life of the point – compared to the acute standard R point common in industrial needles – as it reduces its susceptibility to wear and damage.
Please note that, due to its round shank, the 134 U is NOT compatible with standard household sewing machines that require a needle with a flat shank.
The SCHMETZ 134 U fits into all high-speed household and industrial sewing machines whose operating manual specifies use of needle system 134, 134 R, DPx5, 135x5 or SY1955. These include, for example, the JUKI TL-2300 Sumato as well as many industrial sewing machines from Brother, Jack, JUKI, Pfaff, Texi, Zoje, etc.
