I’m afraid I’ve broken the overlocker needle in the Janome 8002DX. I can’t see any other needles for it in the needles drawer. Machine says “Use only HA-1SP Needle #11-14” The needle has “Origin 75/11” engraved on it.
Happy to order replacements if there are none in the space. Apologies if I did something wrong that caused this! I was practising on very very thin fabric…

Hi - you can use standard sewing machine needles. You should see a pack there which is size 75. (or they may be 80s which are close enough)
I think that HA-1SP Needle #11-14 - is just Janome brand.
We’ve had quite a lot of broken needles in the overlocker recently - they should not be that easy to break. How did it break? Is it hitting something on the machine itself?
Ill be in tomorrow so will check it out 
I had meant to take a picture but forgot! The needle had snapped about 8mm from the tip.
I noticed it when reaching the end of a seam. I wonder if I had been pulling the work off too hard?
That may be it - you shouldn’t pull the work at all, you should let the machine carry on stitching a chain until it’s long enough for you to cut off.
then I definitely broke it. Sorry, I’ll be more careful next time
Consider yourself told off! 
I blame anyone who might have shown you how to use it … Oh wait, wasn’t that me!
It’s not your fault, I think they smell fear.
