Sorry, but needles sold at Sears are usually Organ brand. Not nearly as good as Inspira, Schmetz and Klasse'. They are of poorer quality and break easier.

You can use Inspira needles on any machine. They will not hurt your Janome at all. That is pretty silly since your dealer tells you that simply to have you purchase 'Janome' needles. Janome does not make needles. Inspira are made in Brazil and are of very high quality. Iin strength, they are more along the lines of industrial needles. You don't have to change them as often since they are stronger and the eye is slightly larger to help accommodate thicker threads without shredding or looping. I know, I teach on all machines.

If you have a needle that is currently working in your machine, compare the 2 together. Check to make sure they are the same length etc. If they look the same I would try one and see. I don't just use Bernina needles in my Bernina but like the shmetz needles too. I will have to be on the lookout to try the Inspira.

I use them; one store here has them that if you buy two packages you get a 3rd one free. I buy the quilting, universal and embroidery ones and any others that I think I might need. I have a Kenmore/Janome and a Viking machine and neither one of them mind so I'm good as long as my machines are happy.

I live in Australia and I am wondering if anyone can tell me where I can purchase Inspira quilting needles online in the US as they are very expensive to buy here. I also have a Pfaff and they are the only needles they work wonderful on my machine when I am quilting.
Cheers Jackie.
