Looks like a needle used in a special machine for making drapes and things that need a blind stitch hem, it catches a few threads and most of the thread is on the back and the front shows only a tiny stitch.

Bent ... not shaped like the blind stitch needles.

Wonder what happened to this one, it is bent but didn't break. Carol J. |
Might have been saved as a reminder to never do something stupid again.

my guess is that it's an upholstry maching needle?

I have done this when I changed my needle position and forgot to change the foot I was using. The needle came right down on the metal foot and guess what. They bend!

The double needle looks to be what was use to make the side seams on jeans. A few home machine are set up to use these. I think were called felding seams. I'm sorry I know I didn't spell that right ,but you get the general idea.

I know the first one is a twin needle used to sew two lines at the same time on the front and has a zigzag on the back. I thought the second one was a damaged needle and see that quiltmouse has researched it and again have learned something new from you great QB people.

Its made by Organ, size 75/11. Went there but they dont really show what the needles look like. The twin needle was in the tin also, I put it in the photo to get size perspective. Ive never seen a needle like this, so Im assuming its for a type of machine Ive never used. What in the heck is it?
