    Just watched the Superior Thread video about the needles. Very interesting. I've been using Schmetz. Wondering how many use the Organ needles and what results they have had. I'm especially interested in how they work with poly-mono thread.

    I switched to titanium coated needles a few years ago. I haven't had to buy many at all, they stay sharper then any needle I have used. I just use different sizes of the needles for different type threads. Superior is the retailer for Organ titanium needles and much easier to order from.

    I used the titanium needles, my machine prefers them and I dont have thread breakage at all while quilting.

    I've been using Organ needles for many years with my serger and won't use anything else because they've given me superior results. I order them through Amazon.com for a really good price and they're delivered to my door. Love that! I use all types of decorative threads from Rayon to cotton with them.

    I like and use Organ needles all the time. The titanium coated needles do wear longer.

    I really like the Organ titanium needles too. I make a big order from http://www.discountembroiderysupply.com/Organ-Needles every once in a while.
