Hello, I have the same question.  My subclass is 706/47 so I can see that I need the 190 needles but what specifically should I be getting for needles and thread to sew about 1/4" of veg tan and some marine vinyl?
 
	I just snagged my machine for a smoking deal but this is my first industrial machine. Before I was just hand sewing everything (if you ignore my struggles with the china shoe patcher)
 
	I'm wanting to make a soft top for my 4runner, hence the marine vinyl.  Besides that I make dog collars and would love to be able to sew a backing to it 
 
	thanks for any help!
