In need of advice and help

[gcollins]

Good evenings Guys & Gals,

I have looked and looked, I have called a couple Singer Places with out any luck of locating a needle for my machine (Singer 17-23) there has been some very helpfull people on here, I think I have came to the conclusion, that I need a pack of needle size 100no.16x2 in a 24 or 25

First off, i do not want anyone to go out of there way. I am asking this, just in case some member here lives by or goes buy a Large sewing Machine supply store. If there was someone, that this fits, the person might ask the clerk if the info I gave you is correct! I live in the middle of know where!! You can go over to Cas City (leather forum) and check me out,(Ace Lungger) I am a good person, and have not, and will not ever cheat anyone!

If it would of come with a needle I would know excatly what needle that it does take.

I will be great full, for any and all help! I thank those that helped me get this far, in my other post!

Thanks greg

I would change the needle bar height to the more common 135x17, 135x16 needle system. Very easy to do.

In a pinch, when the needles are too long for the machine and the proper length is not available. You can break the top end off a needle to make the right length. A vise, small hammer and micrometer are all you should require. Even a ruler would do to measure with.
