Schmetz industrial needles


Recommended Posts

I purchased a used George which arrived late yesterday, and I had to leave for work right after I un-boxed him.  Naturally I'm anxious to set him up and play with him today. 

 

2 packages of Schmetz NM:100, Size 16 industrial needles were sent with George.  They have a round hub, but the needle isn't shaped like the Singer needles which APQS recommends, so I am hesitant to use them.  Hopefully I will be able to find the right kind of needles locally today, but If I am unsuccessful, then what are your thoughts on me using these Schmetz needles until the Singer needles arrive in the mail?

 

I imagine that I would have difficulty adjusting the tension if I use these needles, but maybe not since they were in the box. 

 

Thank you. 

 

Jill

Jill, the Schmetz needles that you received with your George ARE the proper needles for your machine.  The rest of our APQS machines use the Singer/Groz Beckert needles, but George is timed (usually) for the Schmetz needles.  You can use those needles without worry!
