A smaller size can be relevant to a finer thread and less conspicuous hole, but suitability depends on the complete setup. Do not select by leather thickness alone or assume a universal needle-size chart overrides the machine manual.

Where it fits in the decision
Test the actual seam with its lining and any folded layers. Inspect the underside for skipped stitches and the top for hole appearance. If the material is faux leather with a textile backing, consult the needle manufacturer’s guidance rather than automatically choosing a cutting point.

Before choosing this listing
Consider this size for a test where a finer-looking seam is wanted and the thread supplier's guidance supports it. The aim is an orderly stitch with an appropriately sized opening, not the smallest possible hole at any cost. If thread frays or passage becomes rough, inspect the needle and threading before continuing. A visually discreet puncture is of little benefit if the thread is being damaged at every stitch.
For small leather goods, compare the needle on both the plain panel and the most layered corner. Label those samples together so a successful flat seam does not conceal a failure at the junction. If the design adds a fabric-backed reinforcement, reconsider the point as well as the diameter. This packet is a leather-point purchase, and its suitability for the backing needs its own check. Buy it to satisfy a documented combination rather than assuming smaller automatically means better for delicate work.
Questions to resolve
- Is the complete needle designation supported by the machine?
- Does the intended thread have guidance supporting 90/14?
- Have you tested the backing and folded corner as well as the face?
