My experience with serv1 and diamond or tri-point needles (repost/ recapp

[esantoro]

Since many of the old posts are gone, I'll repost what i learned about the serv1 versus diamond or tri point needles.

I had ordered diamond point needles from Ferdco. They sent serv1 needles. I gave them a try and really liked the stitch they put down, though i think the points won't last as long as the diamond or tri points.

Ed, I meant to respond to this earlier, but took some time try to dig up some information on the needle you referenced ... with no luck. As far I know, the needle you're talking about is just an "S" point. The "Serv 1" is probably a proprietary designation for the construction - but actually don't know. I dropped a note to Schmetz customer service, but haven't gotten a reply yet.

All things being equal, a cross would not last as long as a diamond or tri point - simple matter of strength due to the point configuration, and cutting area.

Just got home and I had a reply from Schmetz. Here it is:

Thank you for using needles Schemtz.

The system 794 S and 794 S Serv. 1 are very similar. However, the only modification made to the Serv 1 is the length on the shank (Short shank needle)

All others specifications and point are the same.

Thanks for contacting Schmetz, J.R. I really like the stitch from the "S" points,but I think I'll stick to the Diamond and tri points, preferably the diamond points.
