Organ needles vs Schmetz needles
#81
I have used Schmetz since I bought my first fancy machine (Viking D1) about 10 years ago, but have always wondered about Organs.
I used Groz-Beckerts for my LA and have a pack of older Singer needles that I use in my FW. I will have to try some Organs or Superiors version of Organs. Thanks for the info.

I recently purchased a pack of titanium coated needles from Superior for my domestic machine, thinking that since my longarm loved them, the Brother might love them, too. Wrong. The Brother didn't care for them AT ALL, so back to Schmetz needles I go. Guess I'll have to try Organ needles another day.

I've been using Organ needles for over 30 years on my White serger, Berninas, and more recently on my Juki LA. It is a Japanese company and ORGAN needles are supplied with every new machine from: BROTHER, JUKI, MITSUBISHI, YAMATO, KANSAI, PEGASUS, CONSEW, TAJIMA, BARUDAN, NAKAJIMA, KINGLINE, EWLONG, TOYOTA, RENOWN, and many more..
My sewing guru from Banash's in Ohio said there is very little difference other than price in the Schmetz vs. Organ. Check out Banach's Fabric online catalog for great prices on both if you buy in quanity.

I was sold Organ needles for my Baby Lock overlocker and it wouldn't pick up the thread properly. When I asked a different Baby Lock dealer about it she said organ are a different size so when I checked sure enough they were about 1mm shorter than the brand I should have been using.

Thanks for the information, but that site sure is confusing. I couldn't get to see the titanium coated needles until I actually typed in "titanium". Now I'm not sure which one to buy. I wonder where Jan gets hers and how much they are. I just bought a supply of Schmetz needles, and I use them forever (shame on me), but I want to buy some of these Organ needles. I will keep this site in mind.

All you needed to do was click on the size needle you are interested in in the left hand box that has the sizes from the previous link. That will take you to a page like this one for the 80/12.
