I read that you can use the kenmore sewing needles for the Jamone sewing machines. I had my husband pick up a few while he was at sears last week. I finally broke a needle so I put in the Kenmore one...it works...so if you need needles for your Jamone its another option for you. I have not looked to see if its cheaper. I am just glad I can pop into Sears when I need them..... I just checked...they are cheaper. The ones at sears are only 4.99 a pack
