LL · TW · LLCR

When using this point shape, you achieve a lenticular incision with a 135° angle to the seam direction. The result is a slightly recessed, straight seam.

Materials:

Suitable for all types of leather

Highlight:

For the manufacture of footwear, in order to achieve the same seam appearance with the hook positioned to the left of the needle as achieved using the "LR" point in combination with a hook positioned to the right of the needle.

This point also cuts at a diagonal to the seam direction. The incisions are the exact opposite of those of the point shape "LR". Using this point on machines with the needle threaded from the left, seams can be achieved in which the sewing thread between the incisions, while it is very straight, is not very regular. Furthermore, the incisions are rarely completely filled by the sewing thread. This point shape is used most often when raw edges of material pieces must be neatened using zig-zag machines (threaded from the front). The "LLCR" needle also has a right twisted point groove (CR). Because of the cutting angle the leather is less easily perforated than if a narrow cross point S is used. Consequently, the stitch density can be slightly increased to 5 – 6 stitches/cm. This makes a stronger seam. As opposed to the S point, the sewing thread lies slightly on the surface of the material.
