SINGER sewing machine leather needles 90/14, pack of 5, model 250055403

Pack of five SINGER sewing machine leather needles, size 90/14, model 250055403, designed for stitching leather and other heavy materials on compatible domestic or industrial sewing machines. These needles have a reinforced shank and a leather-point profile that pierces tough materials cleanly, helping to form even stitches and reduce skipped stitches when working with thick fabrics, coated textiles or multiple layers.

Advantages

The leather-point design creates a precise hole rather than cutting the material, which preserves strength around the stitch and reduces tearing. A strong shank ensures stable needle alignment and reliable feed through heavy layers. Supplied as a pack of five, the set provides several replacements for regular projects and repairs. The needle size 90/14 is balanced for medium‑thick leather and common heavy fabrics used in garments, upholstery and accessories.

Suitable for

• Repairing leather garments and accessories
• Upholstery and home furnishing work with leather or heavy synthetic covers
• Leathercraft projects such as bags, belts and wallets
• Sewing layered or coated fabrics that require a leather-point needle

How to use

Select the correct needle size and type before beginning your work, ensuring your machine is switched off. Replace the existing needle with a leather-point needle by aligning the flat side of the shank as required by your machine and tightening the needle clamp securely. Use an appropriate thread weight and a compatible presser foot and feed settings for leather or heavy materials. Sew test samples on scrap material to adjust stitch length, tension and feed to prevent skipped stitches and to achieve even stitch formation. Replace needles when they become blunt, bent, or start to cause skipped stitches or irregular stitching.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair these leather-point needles with strong, upholstery-quality thread and use a walking foot or roller presser foot for improved material feed. Adjust stitch length to a longer setting than for lightweight fabrics to avoid perforation weakness; perform regular maintenance on your machine when sewing heavy materials.
