SCHMETZ DPx17 SES, 135x17 SES industrial sewing machine needles for knits and sportswear, 10 pcs

DPx17 SES, 135x17 SES are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles with a slightly rounded ball point, designed for sewing knitwear, jersey, and sportswear. The SES point helps push aside fabric threads and knit loops, reducing the risk of damage.

SES needle point features

SES (Light Ball Point) is a slightly rounded ball point. When it penetrates the material, it helps push aside knit loops and fabric threads, passing through the material between them rather than directly through the threads.

SES is less rounded than SUK. It is particularly suitable for fine and medium-weight knits, where it is important to reduce the risk of damaging loops and breaking fabric threads.

Suitable materials and applications

• Fine and medium-weight knits.
• Jersey fabrics.
• Knit sportswear.
• Lightweight denim.
• Lightweight, tightly woven fabrics.
• Medium-weight and heavy woven fabrics, when the SES point type is suitable.
• Textile laminates with multiple fabric layers.

Compatibility and needle selection

Recommendation: Consider the SES point type for fine and medium-weight knits. For coarser knits and medium-weight or heavy denim, compare SES with SUK. The right choice depends on the material's structure and the needle size.
