Is there a reason why you would choose a four inch or five inch tip? Besides the cables being different lengths, needles are the same size. So I cannot decide which one to get because it generally seems like the same. Thoughts?

The cables are not different lengths, only the needles are. I bought the 5" needles because that was the length of the ones in my set from KnitPicks, and I liked how that length worked.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean the inside single tip versus the outside tip then no, they are equal length. These aren't the best tips, but not bad for the price.

Hi Vintage 1 Lady! My apologies for the delay in answering your question. Our 7.3" "thin-tip" stylus pens use the SAME replacement tips as the 5.5" "thin-tip" pens. The pack of 12 replacement tips we offer will work wonderfully for both of these length pens. If there is anything else I can help you with, please contact me through this link:

My suggestion is to get a ruler and draw 1/4" line on the side you are wanting to sew. Then sew on the line - it will show you where your needle should be positioned. My Brother has to be on #1 for this foot to work. I also found I like to use 3.0 stitch when using this foot. It just seems to work best for me on this length. I hope this was helpful.

I've been using mine all summer and fall - with never a snag! They're very smooth and wonderful to work with. The cables do not separate from the needles because the little key that comes with the set tightens them up beautifully! Enjoy your knitting!

Ok this one has a 15 gauge needle, the larger the number for the gauge the thinner the needle will be so depending on how thin you want just go with a higher gauge number.

Hi There, Unfortunately Im not sure what other needles will work on that particular cartridge. Im using the ortolan pro stylus. If it looks like it could work you could buy and return. I have done that move before with other cartridges. Good luck,

That question is really too vague. There are so many types of needles/cartridges out there that give you a wide range of different sounds. It's really a preference thing. I really like Grado, but I know a lot of people who prefer other brands.

I had the same issue. The needles broke over & over and are not the easiest to change out. I ended up selling mine. Was very disappointed.

Honestly I've never used one of these before in fact coming across it on Amazon is how I learned about it....so I figured I would buy the smallest size and go from there. Which would be my recommendation to anyone else new to them. I haven't used mine yet (I keep forgetting to pick up the correct alcohol to keep it clean in apparently regular rubbing alcohol will damage it) but the company was extremely wonderful by sending me info on use and care tips before I received mine and they have since sent me even more info which I appreciate so very much. But back to answering your question (sorry to get off track there) for a beginner I would say the smallest needle size and not a super costly one..

Hey. I only have coil machines , but as far as I know tubes are standard and they should fit your machine. They're a good quality and smart purchase. They're tubes with needles in them already . Great buy. Only advice is that you choose the needle sizes you use most so you don't end up with a bunch you can't use and not enough of the others.

Keep in mind the stock tips are just thin layers of silicone, whereas these are chunks of foam, which by nature will be larger. That said, I recommend to everyone to get the pack of all three sizes. You may be surprised. Once you figure out your size, your next order can be for a 3-pack of the right size, but one set should last you a while anyway.

I use the same needles for all my machines. It is an embroidery needle 75/11. I get mine online from Home Sew.com. I buy them in bulk. Hopefully this helps
