I prefer Organ neddles. Use 90/14 titanium topstitch all the time. Nancy notions only sends me Klasse needles with orders. I have not used them.....

I use them in my Bernina and never a problem. You do have to know your machine requirements. Not all needles are the same. Your manual should have info on this. If not call the dealer, they will have the best answer for your machine.

I have used Schmetz for years in my Bernina and vintage Singers. I've always been happy with them, but I may try the Organs and see what I think.

Schmetz needles fit my Tiara

Yes they do. At the recommendation of Sharon Schamber, I tried Schmetz Embroidery needles for my sit-down longarm machine, the Baby Lock Tiara and LOVE them!! I get them from her daughter at Purple Daisies LLC website. They are very affordable and the eye is so much bigger it's easy to thread the needle and haven't had any problems with shredding thread. I've even used Superior Thread's King Tut thread (a 40 wt. thread) in a size 80/12 needle with no problems. I'll never go back to other needles!!

These folks are having a sale on sewing needles right now. Use them all the time.

I put one in my machine a few days ago and had a devil of a time. Don't remember ever having such a difficult time with this needle before in my old bernina 830 - but maybe you answered the issue for me. Thanks.

Yes, they are a high quality needle and I love them! I have used them even in older vintage machines.
