Organ DB X 1 Industrial Needles 16X257 Size 100/16 (10pk)

I have a Janome machine and these organ needles work perfectly

The 306W is my favorite machine for heavy work (I have 10 machines). You can't get the original 206x13 needles for this machine anymore. These are smaller diameter, 1 mm longer, and have no flat, so you have to put the slot to the front, but the machine absolutely doesn't care. It works just as well, even on heavy work, as the the original 206x13s. These needles are fantastic.I have included a photo of a test run. Size 16 needles with v69 sail thread and 2 to 10 layers of 6.4 oz sail material (probably the hardest material to sew). I tried an inexpensive Singer (2732, ~ $100 at WalMart), a Pfaff 1222E (they go for $850 refurbished on Ebay), and a Singer 306W, my favorite machine, (free, somebody threw it away). The only legitimate complaint about the 306 is that they don't make needles for it anymore (I bought probably the last Schmetz size 16 206x13 needles ever, from Australia, a year ago). Further research turned up several blogs (in Australia) where several people said the DBx1 needles worked in the 306W. YES THEY DO. EXCELLENT.

I bought these after the needle that came with my new to me sewing machine simply shattered one day, mid-project. I don't know if I was simply using the wrong size needle for my project or if something else was wrong, but in any event, I wasn't about to use any more of the needles that came with the machine.I ordered these size 16 needles in the hope that sizing up and switching needle brands would solve the problem.I love these industrial sewing machine needles so far; they work great on my sewing machine and allow me to use sturdier threads in my projects. And no more needle shattering problem! I am pleased by this.Shipping was fast, which was appreciated as well.

My wife wanted these for sowing denim and other thinker MaterialsThey seam to work well for the purpose

Exactly what they said and what I needed for my quilting machine. Thank you for your quick shipping.

Good needles for the price

ordered for my wife's sewing machine. She though they were too small for her needs but said they were good needles. I will take her word.

I needed these heavy duty needles to sew face masks. They are good quality.
