Members Cumberland Highpower Posted January 2, 2025 Members Report Posted January 2, 2025 (edited) I'm setting up a brother Bas 342 Programmable stitcher for some patterns, and I would "like" to use 207 on top if I can get away with it. I've never run anything heavier than 138 in this machine, but manual lists a #25 needle for seatbelts and leatherwork with no mention of thread size. I've also used a special needle in this machine made by GB, that is a "multidirectional" MR needle, but I cannot seem to find them in #25..... Anyone ever attempt 207 on a similar machine? I feel like I am probably asking for too much and should know better, but feel compelled to try it out. Edited January 2, 2025 by Cumberland Highpower Quote
Members Cumberland Highpower Posted January 5, 2025 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2025 (edited) Ordered some #25TRI. Hopefully they'll work. Was looking at the hooks bobbin cases and hook retaining plates I have for it, some are marked A some B. the B hooks look like they might be for a larger diameter needle? Sound like I'm on the right track? It's a size R bobbin system. Edited January 5, 2025 by Cumberland Highpower Quote
