Dear cuties, I have a Brother 780D embroidery machine. What kind of needles are the best to use in my machine? It came with Organ Haxi 14 needles. Where is the best place to purchase needles online also? If you buy them at Hancock's of Hobby Lobby (stores located here) what kind are the best to use? thanks so much for the help; really appreciate it.

Ordered Organ needles from Allstitch. Ordered both 11 and 80/12 flat shank. Great price for 100. Can buy Schmetz locally until they arrive.
Thanks everyone! Hugs!

I use Schmetz Topstitch needles in both my Brother embroidery machines, as recommended by my dealer and don't have any problems (the eye is longer than the Schmetz Embroidery needles). :) xXx

I use schmetz universals in my 780D (and my Quattro) - I use 80-12 size because I can get them in bulk at my dealer (when they have a sale).

Thanks so much. I tried a Schmetz embroidery needle size 14 and could not get it inside the needle holder. what size should it be? Should they be embroidery needle or just Schmetz brand? Sorry I am asking lots of questions but really rppreciate you help. I broke 4 size 11 Schmetz needles on one design.

A 14 is rather large for most embroidery, but it should go in your machine. Perhaps you need to loosen the needle clamp a bit more. I use an 11 for most of my designs. I have used regular needles, but an embroidery one is better, because it has a larger eye. The thread slips through better. Make sure you are inserting it correctly. Most home machines you put the needle in with the flat side to the back, threading through the eye from front to back.

I will try that. Did not know the needle clamp would loosen. Thanks again!
