BabyLock Imagine Serger Needles need advice on quality, quantity, brand....
Elcue   Advanced WA USA Member since 6/13/12 Posts: 193	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/9/12 5:43 PM When I bought my serger in 2002 I was told by the seller that I should use Schmetz home sewing machine needles. In 2012 I learned from another merchant that there are serger needles specific to each model. My manual does say use HAx1sp Cr needles 75/11 and 90/14 manufactured by Schmetz or Organ. I've been googling all over the place. Klasse Type E, size 14 is the most common to find in local stores. I'm not sure if they are a good choice. Some websites sell Organ brand in lots of 5 to 100. One company offered a ball point version that doesn't exist anywhere else. Schmetz costs more but they might be worth it. Any advice would be welcome.

Does your local dealer carry them? ------ I heart Panzy, Pfaff Creative Performance, the sewing machine love of my life!

Until we meet again, my beautiful little boy. I love you.

Last month Brigita had a thread about her Imagine, serger needles and eBay purchase. That category has a lot of serger information. Good luck.

I now know about the newbie section. I did find the thread you are referring to. It confirms that some of us are easily confused by the subject.
