Schmetz 134 SES Needles

Recommended Posts

I have a George that was retimed for Schmetz needles.  I recently ordered Schmetz Canu 20:05, 134 ® needles from Ed Raichert,

but was sent Schmetz Canu 20:05, 134 (SES) needles.  

Cruising the internet I found that ® is the standard round point needle & SES is a lite ball point needle.

Don't know why they changed the order, but will be calling them next week.

Was wondering if this happened to anyone else & has anyone tried the SES needles?

Mona, I wonder what Ed Raichert would say about the needles.  My George is also timed to Schmetz and almost all of the needles I have are SES.  You might consider calling them and asking about the difference before you send them back.

I wrote an e-mail to Ed Raichert and received the following reply:

 

Both needles are for your machine. There is a slight difference in the tip of the needle. The R is for regular. The SES is a little less sharp of a tip that is to help prevent fabric cuts. The SES is far from being a ball tip and is what we have been recommending for most materials.
