On my If I couldn't get the needle threader to work I would be lost. My eyes just aren't that good anymore.

I've enjoyed this topic. I am one that would still be looking for a Shell station! New to my Janome and am soon needing to purchase needles.

I tried the Schmetz and had a devil of a time threading them (my 35 year old Kenmore's only needle threader is me); tried the Organ needles and have no problem with them, so bought a bunch very reasonably on eBay.

Thanks everybody.

I wonder if Jo-Ann's carrys the Organ, I don't think I have ever seen any there nor in my LQS, although I'm not positive about the latter. I'll have to check them out.

I don't think Shell gas ethanol in it, at least it didn't use to. Ethanol will ruin your car engine over time. Only one station in my town has no ethanol gas. The salesman should have told you why so you would know about different types of gas. Check engine light coming on (no specific mech. reason why) is the first sign.
