The needle of system 134 has a spade point for working leather, synthetic leather and other coated materials – never for woven fabric, since the cutting action would sever the weave threads. It is used in industrial sewing machines for leather and synthetic-leather work, where the cutting point produces a clean puncture. 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:120/SIZE:19, this version is especially well suited to medium-weight leather for everyday leather goods and saddlery work. A sewing thread in the range Nm 50/2 to Nm 40/2 is usually suitable; a bonded polyester or nylon thread such as Amann Saba or Coats Dabond is recommended. A cutting point is required here to create clean puncture channels in firm materials.
