I haven't had to replace my set yet. For my model you have to purchase replacement blades.

Thanks,

I have to by a 2020 overlock needle from JoAnns so it's not exactly the same. The prices are about the same give or take a dollar. There's a difference between the length. BUT The manual says I can use a standard needle in a pinch but it's not supposed to be used as a default. So I guess the standard needles is like that spare little tire you have in your car if you get a flat. You can use it but not all the time.
