Hi John:
Maybe this will help:
JLx1 has a smaller shank & smaller eye than JLx2. Neither SCHMETZ JLx1 or JLx2 are stock.
JLx2 is also know as needle system BLx4N.
JLx2 has a .02 smaller shank and 2.0 longer shank than ELx705. Both have two grooves.
Sew SCHMETZ & Grabbit Too!

JLx2
Product Code: SJLX2-75
CANU 21:46 5
NM:90 SIZE:14
BLX4N
JLX2
Size: 75/11
Feature: For chainstitching and coverstitching on Bernina and Juki sergers. These needles have been manufactured to help prevent dropped chain looper stitches. Needles are sold in bundles of 100 only. When ordering please specify the number of needles in quantities of 100.
The ELx705 & JLx2(BLx4) are not the same. They are close but as Rhonda pointed out below there is a size differences in the shank diameter & length.
In most cases they both would work but as you know when a customer gets anything that isn't exact they complain. The ELx705 are a lot more popular than the JLx2.
We have the JLx2 in sizes 11,12, & 14
The list price of the JLx2 is $38.95 per 100 and your cost is $28.04 per 100
The ELx705 are also available in sizes 11, 12, & 14 in sharp and in ball point
The list price of the ELx705 is $34.10 per 100 & your cost is $24.55
As far as what needle Bernina is supplying we think they are Organ but we arent 100% sure.
I hope you're doing okay, or as best as is possible. I apologize for the tardiness of my condolences on the passing of Annette as I just found out at about it.
Kind regards
Rick Sablesak
