Call Diamond Needle in NJ.  They carry Organ needles which I have used for years.  Good needles despite what some people say.  Only G-B and Organ make Titanium coated needs which are fabulous.  i use both and have found no difference between them.  I do not use Schmetz any more because of that.

i looked off and on for a couple YEARS, and i never did find 135x16s in LR.  I like those LR needles too. ;)

I’ll send them in email. I’m in Sweden so communication is easier that way

when your Pfaff is using 134-35 - why not setting up both machines for that needle system? You only have to stock 1 needle system (it´s cheaper on the long view) and don´t have to worry to mix up needles (it happens).

BTW College Sewing has 134-35 LR in 180 and 200

ARMASTORE in Latvia has 134-35 LR in 180 at a super price for 100 needles:

Other than that STRIMA in Poland has 135x16 with DIA tip in 180 and 200:

Great idea. I might do that and use the same system on both machines. Thank you for the help, I appreciate it!

Sure.  Post it here, as others likely want to know too.
