Question 1

How can I verify the needles I received are genuine Janome needles?

Accepted Answer

It is not difficult to determine if the needles you have been sold are genuine Janome needles. All Janome’s needles are actually made in Taiwan by Organ. The needles will have “Organ” and the size of needle stamped into the rounded side of the shaft. Regardless of how they are packaged, they are the genuine article if the shaft is stamped with the manufacturers name, “Organ.” You will never find a needle stamped with Janome. Janome doesn’t make their own needles. Instead they have them private labeled by Organ.

Question 2

what's the difference between the purple tip 90/14  and red tip 90/14 needle?

Accepted Answer

Purple Tip Needles are designed to prevent skipped stitches with heavy fabrics, including knits, while doing sewing and embroidering. They feature a ball point tip to prevent fabric thread breakage and a special cobra shaped head to form a proper needle thread loop so that it prevents skipped stitches caused by the fluctuation of the fabric. Purple Tip Needles are recommended for embroidery with a high-density design and/or thick fabric, fluffier thread like cotton, quilting multiple layers which normally resist needle penetration, sewing knit, tricot, and synthetic fabrics like thick polyester.

Red tip needs are a size 14 and have a larger eye of the needle to accommodate heavier threads, pampers delicate metallics that tend to shred and split, and makes needle threading easier.. They are recommended for general sewing of medium weight fabrics.
