From a 3 piece Organ needle set to the standard Janome 5 piece set, every Janome machine comes with a set of sewing needles to get you started. The sets vary by model and are based on the machines capabilities. Each set can include a combination of universal, ball point, twin or specialty tipped needles. No mater what set of starter needles your machine comes with, replacing the needle often is highly recommended for smooth operation and flawless stitches.
