I use them all the time on my Baby Lock Imagine (serger) and Baby Lock Ellisimo (embroidery/sewing machine). I get the serger needles from All Brands and the machine needles from All Stitch. Best prices around! :-)

I've used both and interchange them as I need to. Organ needles last longer and are stronger and more expensive (I think), Schmetz needles are also very good especially for metallic threads. I have a Brother PE-150 and both work well in this machine.

Klasse needles work well to Chenille. I buy my double, triple and wing needles at my dealer. Here's a buy 2, get 1 free coupon.

I use them all the time on my Janome 10001, Have not had any problems whatsoever. I buy them from allstitch.

I use Organ 10pcs 75/11 exclusively. They even sew through softer leathers. I love them and don't ever have any problems. They cost just a smidge more, but last 3-4 times longer, so are cheaper in the long run.

I switched from Schmetz to Organ brand needles a few months ago. I LOVE them. My machines like them too! I have a Brother Quatro and a Brother Innovis 2500D. I use 12s and 14s. Metallic thread does well through a long eye needle.

I use both or whatever is around. I usually get needles when away where there is a choice in the shops. The last needles I got was a 100 Schmetz which a friend and I shared. I now need some more but this time I think I will get from ebay. I often use a 80 or a 90

Here in Europe it's predominantly Schmetz - apart from the no-good cheap ones you get in market stalls. Which I have used since I bought my first sewing machine in 1963.
My 4-needle, which uses industrial needles, came with 60 size 12 Groz-Becket and 20 size 11 Organ needles. I haven't yet used the first and the latter are great, I haven't had a broken needle since I bought the machine in Nov 2007.

I remember my mother using Organ hand-sewing needles, they came in a folding card pushed thru pieces of foil. I'll bet I still have some dating back to the 40's from her stash. I like the Organ sewing machine needles, and the Schmetz, can't say I've paid a lot of attention to the lasting quality of sharpness, but I've never broken a needle in the embroidery machine. Just because I'm an information freak, I looked up the website. Organ is a Japanese company that started out making styli for gramophones in the 1920's. For any other information geeks out there, here's the link. Hugs, Marji

OK Do you use ballpoint or sharp
