RockyAussie Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks Floyd, That post mostly covers what I was trying to work out.Unfortunately here in Australia the colour range in thread sizes drops right down when you get thicker than the 138/20m range and the 794 LR range of needles only goes down to the 160/23 needle range which is a bit big for that size thread. Also at that 794 length it is very flexy and more likely to miss stitches. I was hoping there might be a solution by going this way.

Members Constabulary Posted April 1, 2017 Members Report Posted April 1, 2017 yes, thats the 45K needle. Total Length is 60 / 62 mm. Shaft top to needle eye is 52mm. But the shaft diameter varies Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
