I buy all of my embroidery supplies from

I have no problems with Organ needles. I use size 11 sharps in my machines, not embroidery needles and I buy them in bulk. My BFF and I order together so we split the cost of shipping or get free shipping when our order is large enough.
I also won't fall for the hype about using the more expensive titanium coated needles, especially in my embroidery machines. If there's ever a problem I'd rather have the needle break before it causes damage to the machine than have damage caused to my machine because the needle didn't break.
