TerriVB Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hi all--i just received an email from Kingsman Supply that their supply of MR 4.0--Singer and GrosBecket needles are backordered--and I am all out and reusing old ones--in need of new needles--has anyone had sucess ordering lately from anywhere else--or is there a conspiracy on needles that I don't know about--I don't get out much:D!!! Thanks for any information on this subject!! Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linsq1 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 A couple years ago, I ordered Groz-Beckert needles rather than our "yellow pack" Singer ones. The package didn't say "1955" on the label and didn't work well on my machine... tension issues, skipped stitches, a few loops. I think G-B has since bought out the "yellow package needles" I've used successfully for several years. Do I dare order from G-B ? Anyone have experience with the new ones? (does the label say 1955?) Your advice is always appreciated! Blessings, Lin Squires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Lin, Perhaps this article by Dawn would help answer your question. Sue http://www.apqs.com/artists_dawnc_blog.php?id=11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinneaMarie Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I use the Groz-Beckert all the time. I like the titanium coated ones!!!:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneK Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I just ordered some today. They're cheater from "I Want Quilt Stuff" than King Man's and postage was cheaper also. Bought a box of 100 and ended up being about $8 less. http://www.ec-securehost.com/IWantQuiltStuff/NEEDLES.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjtinkle Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I usually order mine from Mike's Machine Shop: http://mikesmachineshop.com/needles.htm He'll give you a nice price break on packs of 100, which is how I order them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzanp Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Tanks for the information on places to order, I have been ordering from Kingsmen and my last three orders for badding have never come in, even the thread is on back order.

WestieMom Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 When I ordered my Lenni I also ordered extra needles from APQS (Lenni has been in her new home now for a little over a week). The needles APQS sent me are Groz-Beckert needles. The numbers on the label are as follows: 10 Nm 110/18 4.0 134 MR 1955 MR 134 SAN 11 DP X 5 MR Hope this information helps.
