Thank You Some of the 111 models used 126x11 Same length & even if it was easy to adjust by adjusting height of the needlebar when you install it.The main reason to change is you will have no problems getting needles in any size & points you want real easy.

Ok, learning moment for me. Are you saying I can adjust the 8mm dfference in needles by adjusting the needle bar 8mm? In my mind it would seem the 8mm would cause my needle timing to be late. 9 hours ago, CowboyBob said: Same length & even if it was easy to adjust by adjusting height of the needlebar when you install it.The main reason to change is you will have no problems getting needles in any size & points you want real easy.

Thank You Some of the 111 models used 126x11 I think your over thinking it.The length of the needle doesn't matter as long as it's not too long & will hit on the upstroke OR too short & hit the feet over a thick seam.I have changed alot of 111W154's over the years to the common 135x17,you instali the new needlebar,set the height so the hook comes in 1/8" above to eye & sew with it!
