Dear Cuties, I have a question for those of you who use titanium coated needles. Which brand do your prefer, Schmetz or Organ, and why?

Hi, just thought i'd share. I've been using Schmetz needles for over 40 years, ever since a packet came with my Elna sewing machine. My reason, there is no substitute for quality. I won't even consider buying another brand as they are such good quality they stay sharper longer, so i get more projects out of every needle. In fact, with my sewing machine, the only time i've ever replaced one was when I broke one through my own clumsiness.

I have a Janome, so I use Janome needles -, made by Organ. The shank is slightly shorter on the Janome needle and is recommended to be used with Janome sewing and embroidery machines.Using a different brand can result in skipped stitches, due to the difference in shank length.

Just like Meganne I've been using Schmetz needles since I bought my first Elna in 1963. They last forever. I have bought cheap ones in the local market, the thicker ones for jeans, because that's the occasion I break needles when I'm not careful, but they turned out to be rubbish. So it's Schmetz for me too. I got organ needles (the industrial type, which I can't use on household machines) and they are fine. So I can't advise you on the choice between these two. As long as they are prime brands I think you'll be OK, but don't use cheap ones, it's not worth it.

I use both brands and I like the organ titanium for lacework, due to the high count of stitches they seem to stay sharper longer

I use Schmetz, quality. However, I've not used the titanium. Ask Marjialexa, I know she does.

I use organ needles, and I will have to say is just a matter of preference. When I first started into the embroidery I read some books and the organ needles where highly recommended, so i got myself some and have had no issues with them. I have not used the Schemetz titanium needles so cant really say but their needles are really good quality too.
