I have a bernina ( was gifted to me by my cousins husband when she passed away) I need needles, do I need to buy bernina or can I get any brand?
The nearest Bernina dealer is 30 miles away and I dont want to drive on the backroads ( its out in the country,Mennonite area) to the shop in the snow. |
Sorry to hear of your loss. What model Bernina is it?
|
I hAve the 630...Dealer told me never to use a generic needle.....they recommended the schmetz...you should be able to get them online.
I havent had to buy any yet..as my day job interfeers with my quilting life ...! |
I use Schmetz in the Bernina 440.
|
It is an Aurora 440 Quilters Edition.
|
I use Schmetz in all my Bernins (3) and they work just fine. You can order online or if there is a JoAnn's and Hancock's try to get them when they have their 50% Notions wall sale.

My dealer also told me to only use Schmetz needles and to never ever ever use singer needles as they can damage the bobbin race which is a very expensive part to replace. You can pick up Schmetz needles just about everywhere. I have even seen them at JoAnnes and Walmart!

I used to use Schmetz which worked perfectly in my Bernina 1030.
I now use tintanium (no spellcheck here) from Superior Threads because they are very long-lasting 1+years http://www.superiorthreads.com |
I use the Schmetz needles
