Vicki Sue Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 What type of needles do most of you use on the Ultimate II? I only have one and would hate to start and not be able to get what is considered the best for this machine. Thanks in advance.

LadyLake Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Vicki, I just want to let you know that APQS was closed yesterday afternoon for a Christmas party, but I'm sure Dawn or someone with an Ultimate II will answer soon. Congratulations on your machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Email Bonnie to be sure but I think they take the same MR's that our machines take. I like to use a 3.5 but the machines are set at 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belquilt Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Speaking of needles, where is the best place to get them now that the Singer needle is no longer available as they were bought out. I need to get a bunch as the Xmas rush is almost over and I need to restock. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 You can get them from APQS or Kingsmen. I think Bayside has them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltingjoyful51 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 The Ult II uses the MR 4.0 or MR 4.5 . They are the same as our other machines. Just ask for the MR designation. I have them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnCavanaugh Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Vickie Sue, the gang is right. You use the same needle as the other APQS machines...MR 4.0 or MR 4.5. If you visit my blog (accessed at the bottom of the homepage for APQS) you'll find a few articles relating to needles that may also help. Here's one to get you started: Needles and your APQS Machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
