Wozzer Report post Posted October 28, 2022 I have a Durkopp that I was told is a 17-2-2. According to the instructions manual it may well be a 17-5 or 17-6. Regardless of which model it is, i need needles for leather. I have been told a 17-2-2 has 56mm needles, but can find no such needle length. Any help would be appreciated.
