I have no issues with them in either my computerized Viking or my FW. It's the brand my dealer sells and they sell many different brand machines so I would think they are pretty universal for machines. Getting into relatively obscure vintage machines might be a different issue though.

I think that they're great. I use them in my Berninas, my featherweight, my Janome, and even my Pfaff Grandquilter. They have a wide selection of types of needles and you can get them on sale at JoAnn's. I do not use my machines for embroidery. If I did, I would probably use the Organ needles or titanium needles.

I prefer Organ Titanium coated needles but have used Schmetz. I think I remember reading Schmetz manufacturing had changed and the needles are made differently now. The length of the needles has changed causing problems with many machines.
