Janome Purple Tip Sewing Machine Needles

Excellent quality

It’s magic! These needles completely solved the problem of skipped and uneven stitches on my Janome machine. But, while I’m pleased to have cured the problem, it does raise a couple of issues: - Why should I have to buy special needles for my machine to work properly? Janome should either solve this problem with their machines, which they are clearly aware of, or make ALL their needles in the purple tip format. - I normally use ballpoint or jersey needles with stretch fabrics, as advised, to avoid making holes in the fabric. These purple needles are definitely not ballpoint, they are quite sharp. So, is there a risk of damaging my jersey fabrics?

I recently decided to make a jelly roll rug. How hard could it be? Well, it was a nightmare as my machine was skipping zig zag stitches no matter what settings I used. I use a workhorse vintage Singer and I resorted to breaking a modern machine out of mothballs to try again. Same result. I saw recommendations for these needles on a FB jelly roll makers page and bought them with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. No more skipped/missed stitches. No need to launch sewing machine through a window. No more unpicking. The needles went through all the layers (8) of fabric and wadding without missing a stitch. They'd also be good for heavy fabrics, denim etc. Pricey, but worth every penny!!

I love using these needles in my machine. Janome 5030 .
