I only use Organ Topstitch Titanium needles from Superior Thread. I use a size 12 for piecing and a size 14 for quilting. Works great on both my Babylock and Brother 1500s Machines.

I never heard of them either. I also would like to know if anyone uses then on Viking.

I have always used Schmetz needles until recently. I have always done all kinds of sewing with all kinds of fabric and threads so I have a wide variety of needles and use the ones that are recommended for the project I'm doing.
Recently I purchased some Organ needles from Superior and they were titanium coated. I have used the same needle to quilt three baby sized quilts and it does not seem dull. I use Elmer's to sandwich my quilts and the needle has not had problems sandwich. I have not had thread shred either-I have used Precencia, King Tut and Sulky 30 weight and even a 12 weight. I don't mind the price from Superior because they last so long. I am a bit skeptical about mass produced bit lots of anything because that is a manufacturers opportunity to be a little more careless about quality control. I have Berninas and Singer machines.

My Janome came with organ needles and the dealer told me that was the only brand to buy. I love them, and will not "hoard needles" any longer.

I use them for sewing and embroidery on my Brother Quattro. My LQS sells them but I get them on line a lot cheaper.

I have both and the Organ needles don't seem to dull as easy as the Schmetz. Great price!

Ditto. I also use them for my Brother Innovis for embroidery. The titanium coated last 10 times longer than the noncoated. They never seem to wear out.

I too was reluctant to try them but I love them and you can't beat the price! I have a Babylock and a Brother. Sharonve

I don't see answers to the questions: history, who makes them, types, why they are so good.
I would like to know, and don't see a link to these.

My Janome is just the opposite. When I use the Organ needles, I have no problem using the automatic threader. Any other brand & the little hook doesn't seem to line up with the eye of the needle.
