    Default Curved Sewing Machine Needles
    I have some curved sewing machine needles marked "Organ 10" and haven't the slightest idea what they are used for. Does anyone have a clue? Thanks.

    I looked on the Internet and according to what I read they were used in overlockers. Whether they still use them I can't say.

    WOW, I never heard of a curved needle for a sewing machine. I doubt if they would work on my older Bernina 1530.

    They will only work on a blind hem machine they do not work in regular sewing machines
