Date: 1/14/13 3:17 PM Did you see the date on the article, 2 years ago and their needles are still in the stores. So maybe the recovered or someone brought them and kept the name? These are the only needles I've used for years. -- Edited on 1/14/13 3:18 PM -- ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

Just thought it was so interesting. I have loads of their needles and they've always worked well for me too. I just hope that the company has resolved their issues and will continue. Since viewing the Superior Thread Therapy DVD, I've begun exclusively using their Organ Topstitch Needles. According to them, all you need for your machine are four sizes of the Totstitch needles. I've had excellent results with them. I love when things are simplified. ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D

They merge, buy cheap parts outside US, lower costs, make inferior product under same name, customer grows wary, they go under, restructure, move labor overseas, change parts again, etc. So confusing... ------ re-living my youth through sewing...

rfsews Beginner CA USA Member since 11/21/06 Posts: 140	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/15/13 1:54 PM Are Schmetz needles still made in Germany? I noticed that the older batches I had were all German made but the newer ones from last few years were made in Mexico. I wonder if the company restructure changed the manufacturing plants?
