I've always been too chicken to test them.
My IL and FL dealers both recommend I use only the Schmetz needles in my Pfaff. Same back when I owned a Viking. You could try it and if they work fine but they will probably snap if they are the wrong needle. I'd personally pass them on to a Singer owner. The Pfaff machine is not a cheap machine and I want to protect them. Even my baby lock uses the Schmetz needle so I just use them in whichever of my 3 machine's is in need.
