Organ or Schmetz needles for a Janome 6600P???

**TnBecky** · 11-15-2013, 07:11 AM

Looking for advice on which needle to use on my Janome 6600P. I know that I can buy "Janome" needles, but they are so expensive. I have seen both Organ brand & Schmetz brand recommended to use. So which one do you prefer or should I buy Janome only needles.

Thanks everybody.

I've never bought Janome needles. I use Schmetz or Superior on my Janome 6600.

....Ditto.... I use the Superior Titanium needles mostly, they are great and last a lot longer than regular needles.

Superior Titanium Topstitch needles are what I use mostly, although I've used about everything. My Janome doesn't seem to be fussy about needles, the way it is with bobbins. I use Superior Threads as well, and through experience I believe they give off the least amount of lint.

I use both Organ & Schmetz on mine, zero problems.

I've even used some "mystery" needles that I think probably came with my 90's Kenmore machine and didn't have any trouble at all. I don't think this machine is picky when it comes to needles. I didn't know there were Janome brand needles!

I DO use Janome brand bobbins, though, it does seem to be picky about that.

I'm sure that the Janome needles are good needles, but they are probably more expensive. I use Schmetz sharps with my Bernina 440 QE. Bernina dealers tell Bernina owners the same thing about Bernina needles, but the only time I've ever used Bernina needles was when I broke a needle during a class and didn't have any spares.

I've found that both Organ and Schmetz work well in my 6600 as well as my other Janomes. Each machine has its own temperment, so it's best to give each a try. I think more important is the type and size of needle and what you are using it for.

I've used the Schmetz ones without any trouble.

I use SCHMETZ needles with my Bernina.

I have a Janome 8200 and use Organ needles all the time. They work great and are much less expensive than Schmetz.
