Tracey Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Does anyone have a George that is timed for schmetz needles? Are they the regular schmetz needles or are they an industrial version? Thanks! Teacey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningThreads Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Tracey When I bought my Ultimate 1 the previous owner had been using Schmetz needles. The ones I have look similar to the MR series we usually use but they don't have the bump in front. I don't think they were for multi directional use. I just started using the Gros Beckert MR series right away. I guess the short answer is they were industrial needles. I have some 3.0s if they're looking for something thinner and want to pick them up to try. I've used them in my U1 without retiming. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furball Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have a George timed for Schmetz 14 needles. These are NOT the Schmetz needles used in a DSM but a more industrial version that does not have a flat side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi Tracey, The needles are indeed industrial. We do carry them as replacements at APQS. Here is what to look for: Schmetz Canu: 20:05 1 NM: 80 Size: 12 134 ®\135x5 SY 1955 DPx5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
