Vicki Sue Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 What are the best needles to use for the Ultimate II? Finally got to try the machine I bought the end of September. But I think it probably needs a new needle. It also has some burrs where the needle enters the machine to pick up the bobbin thread. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

srichardson Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Hi Vicki, Here is a link to an article that Dawn Cavanaugh wrote a while ago about needles. Hope it helps. Sue http://www.apqs.com/artists_dawnc_blog.php?id=11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Vicki I think the Ultimate II uses the same MR 4.0 needles as any of the other APQS machines. Send Amy an email and she'll let you know for sure. To get the burrs get a sanding cloth. You can get it at the hardware store or Kingsmen has them.

Vicki Sue Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks so much for the help. I thought I had read something about the needles changing, and sometimes I find it hard to navigate to find the right answers. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 The singer needles were bought out by Grotz. You can still find the singer some places. I know John Mitchell has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
