I've always been too chicken to test them.
I use Schmetz in my Pfaff when I can find them...not always easy when my Pfaff dealer left. I have used the Singer needles without a problem...have also used Kenmore needles...no problems with any of them.

It may be true...I've always had better luck threading the Singer needles when I have to eyeball it. Thank goodness for built-in needle threaders!

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.

Me too. I love getting 100 needles for $19.00 with no shipping. Works great for me.

JoAnn's and Walmart (even the ones without a fabric section) carry Schmetz all the time unless they happen to sell out.

I use Singer needles when I am doing some mending of putting in hems on denims, but for any work I use Schmets needels. I use the embroidery, quilting and universal ones.
