    Default Superior threads/organ needles

    I need to order some needles.

    There are so many opinions on what's best and places to shop. Ideally I would like to order a lot of 100 on eBay to share with my mom and sister... Does organ sell the titanium topstitch needles under their own name brand, or only through superior? Is there a less $$ comparable alternative? I realize you get what you pay for and buying thebest and all that, but I am sewing on a budget so try to balance best value for $$ spent. I've been using Schmetz universal or microtex, but need a larger quantity than buying from jas one coupon at a time.

    Thanks!

    I just purchases 100 organ needles for less than $20. and they are working perfect in my Janome sewing machine. I am very satisfied with them .Ordered them off the internet from JHittle & Co.

    I use Organ "Large Eye" needles and buy from Allstitch.net I haven't tried the titanium yet because of price but I LOVE the Large Eye Organ needles. I usually buy the 75/11 in both sharps and ballpoints and have very little problem.

    The price of the needles you mention is high because they are titanium, not because they are Superior.

    Yes, I understand that. I was looking for a source for them that is less expensive than superior. Now that I know that organ does make them under their own name as well, I have found them for 1/2 the cost that superior sells them for. If I couldn't find them for less, I was looking for recommendations for a similar alternative.

    misskira, if I may ask, where did you find the titanium needles for half price?

    There are quite a few places that sell them, and I still need to compare prices factoring in shipping. But here is one:

    Pd designates the titanium.
