I use them all the time. You can get them on ebay or www.discountembroiderysupply.com They are about $12 per 100, last time I bought, and the shipping is free. I like their large eye needles for quilting.

I use the Organ Titanium topstitch coated needles. They stay sharp for months and the topstitch has less thread breaking.

This is the sight I use and get good prices and fast service. I use Organ HLX5 on my short arm quilter and they have worked very well. Can someone give me the Organ titanium top stitch needle number?

I use Organ about 99.9% of the time - I can't remember ever having any trouble with them.
Recently, I bought some Orange brand and whaddaya know - they're just as good! The only problem with the "generic" type brands is that they're not going to have the specialty needles like Schmetz has - wing needles, twins of different widths, topstitch, etc. But since I've got "old gal" machines, I pretty much use sharps for everything anyway. :) |

There is a yahoo group that buys in bulk and the group orders when there is enough orders to fill from the members. I am a member and no problems at all in my orders. It's called Needlecoop.

I have several brands of needles. I measured them side by side and the Singer needles are a smidge bit longer then the Organ, Schmetz, Bissell, and Kalsse. It's important to use Singer needles, especially with the older model Singers. The extra smidge makes a better stitch and less bobbin issues. I have a Quantum Singer and the threader won't work unless I use Singer needles.

Well I thought I was an informed sewer but have never heard of the Organ brand before. Do not remember seeing them anywhere here in NE Kansas but maybe it's because I didn't know to look for them.

I just bought a new Brothers SE400 and they suggested the Organ needles. Seems the Singer needles are just a tad too long and will pieirce the bobbin case if you use them. They said Schmetz were okay.
