The needle of system 134 has a wedge point (pearl point) for working coated and synthetic materials as well as synthetic leather. It is used in industrial sewing machines for coated and synthetic materials, where a cutting point would damage the coating. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Pfaff (classes 22, 28, 33905, 34), Juki (classes ACB, ACF, AEC, ALS) and Singer (classes 20, 61, 107, 108).
At strength NM:130/SIZE:21, this version is especially well suited to medium-weight synthetic leather and PVC coatings for everyday production. A sewing thread in the range Nm 40/2 to Nm 20/2 is usually suitable, e.g. from Amann Rasant or Serafil (polyester); for heavy-duty use, a bonded nylon thread. The wedge point displaces the material's fibres instead of cutting them, protecting the coating.
