Using Needles Other than Mfg. recommendation
#4
Organ is the top of the line needles. I love the titanium coated ones, they last much longer then the regular needles. Most new machines come with Organ needles.

I love Organ Needles, have used them for years with my embroidery and recently with regular sewing. I bougt them originally from a place in N.C. on the net and paid like a $1.00 for a package of 5. Does that tell you how long ago it's been :wink:

Just went to this site (allbrands) and in their introduction they said Organ needles are designed specifically for machines made in Japan/Asia. They recommend Schmetz for European made sewing machines and Brazilian made needles for Singer sewing machines.
So . .. has anyone actually used Organ needles in a Viking? I'm hesitant to use these needles if they aren't meant for a European machine.

I have a Designer SE, a Designer 1, and a Sapphire 870. I use Organ needles in all of them with no trouble. My husband is (was...retired due to health issues) a sewing machine technician and he puts Organ needles in the machines he services too.
