esantoro Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 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 Quote
Members bcurrier Posted January 17, 2008 Members Report Posted January 17, 2008 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. Bill Quote
Members bcurrier Posted January 17, 2008 Members Report Posted January 17, 2008 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. Best Regards, J.R. Reyes SNC, Miami Quote

Reyes SNC, Miami 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. ed Quote
