Members shoepatcher Posted August 4, 2022 Members Report Posted August 4, 2022 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. glenn Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 5, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted August 5, 2022 i looked off and on for a couple YEARS, and i never did find 135x16s in LR. I like those LR needles too. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Members Constabulary Posted August 5, 2022 Members Report Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) 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 https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/needles/groz-beckert-industrial-needles/134-35-groz-beckert-needles/134-35lr-groz-beckert-needles https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/needles/schmetz-industrial-needles/32-10-134-35-schmetz-needles/schmetz-134-35lr-leather-point ARMASTORE in Latvia has 134-35 LR in 180 at a super price for 100 needles: https://armastore.eu/134-35-rtw-lr-singer-needles-pack-of-100 Other than that STRIMA in Poland has 135x16 with DIA tip in 180 and 200: https://de.strima.com/items?query=135x16 Edited August 5, 2022 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2

I might do that and use the same system on both machines.
