Thank you for the info. I have an very old Singer regular machine I will find and see if it has a screw that will work.

The reason I asked, is in another thread someone asked about screws for a Singer 20 U machine and was told they are not the singer thread. I think singer machines with a U in the model are made in Japan.

Does the 29U 172A ( Patcher )use a regular screw or a Singer screw to hold the needle in?

I realize this is a different machine. But does the Singer 29U172A use standard or Singer screw to hold the needle in? I think both were made in Japan.

Have not found any of these yet.

I have 130, 97x4 needles in sizes 22 and 23 BUT I am dealing with someone that wants them all so unless we can't make suitable shipping arrangements I consider them sold. I will check for others.

I will check and see if I have any. Being that there are thousands and I just bought this bunch a week ago it might take a day or 2 to check all . I will let you know what I find.

I just bought out an older mans supply of industrial needles. He had been fixing industrial machines for about 60 years and said he never had a machine come in that he didn't have a needle for. I stopped counting at 5000 and only had a good start. If someone can give me all the possible numbers ( needle system ) I will look I might have them. Quite a few are round point so the right ones for clothe. I have as many as 2200 of some sizes. A lot are older new stock some likely even over 40 years old. There are some 97x4 s which I believe may not be made anymore. I am in Saskatchewan Canada I am willing to send them by mail.

Still available. Some interest shown but no commitment. I set the price the same as someone on here sold some 6 years ago so felt it was fair.

I find that it depends on where the needle is when you change from forward to reverse. Make sure the hook has caught the thread on the last stitch before changing to reverse. If you change directions at the wrong time it will miss catching the thread for the first reverse stitch. Or it does on my CB 4500.

Sent emails. Did you get them?

Thank you. I was not sure which heading to put it under.

I have available 40 97x4 size 23 and 90 size 22 97x4 needles. These are new old stock genuine Simanco needles. Thinking $260.00 for the lot. If you are interested P M me and we can make arrangements. I would prefer to sell all in one lot because postage would be likely the same to send all as just a few. I tried to post pictures but for some reason it did'nt work I can email pictures. I am in Saskatchewan Canada.

If 97x4 needles fit I have some. In 22 and 23 sizes.

Thank you I will try. I have one big picture that posted on the does anyone use a pearson # 6 thread please delete it is no longer needed and I think is stopping me from posting more.
