Needles......

What size and brand do you use for your piecing and/or quilting? Massdrop has Schmetz micro tech needles..... 100 for 49.99 with different sizes available. Is that a good deal? And if so, what size is best?

Thanks in advance for any and all advise!!

Re: Needles......

Organ Sharp points are interchangeable with Schmetz micro tech needles and much lower priced.

I use 80/12 for piecing with 50 weight cotton thread and 90/14 for quilting with 50 weight cotton thread. Here is my favorite source with a 100 pack for $11.99 including free shipping.

Re: Needles......

Wow..... great price. Thanks for sharing!! In the past I didn't use as many needles as I do now so this will be a big help.

Re: Needles......

I have Bernina machines so I buy
Bernina needles. I use 70/10.
I tried the Schmetz needles didn't like them at all.
My suggestion would be to check your machines
Manuel and see what needle is recommended.

Re: Needles......

Yes, I bought some on that deal. They are the microtex so they are good for thicker, more difficult things as they are very sharp. I got the sz14 because I already have a box of sz 12.

Are those sharper than organ in the greyish package? I have several of those and use them in my brother but I have not used the green package.

Re: Needles......

Not a good deal in my opinion. I bought that same thing of needles from MassDrop before but I didn't pay that much. Maybe it's because of the time when you joined the drop?

Re: Needles......

Thanks for all the feedback...... I passed on the drop. Glad to learn of a new source for needles.

Superior Threads Titanium Topstich 70, 80 and 90

I have heard that Organ is/was the top selling needle and wanted to partner with Superior Threads, but the latter declined because of some quality assurance issues. I do see that Superior Threads sells Organ needles in addition to its own needles.
