Les No6 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 The 204 uses the 794-328(214*1) needle system sizes 160-230, in a range of needle points and you can use any machine thread, linen, polyestercoton, polyester, nylon and nylon mixes the choice is yours I prefer linen and polyester-cotton. And here is a link to the manuals; http://www.duerkopp-adler.com/en/main/downloads/index.html?action=search&prop0=%2Fcommons%2Fdownload%2Fpublic%2F204-370/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Les No6 Report post Posted February 15, 2013 Les No6, Where do you get your linen thread? What kind of machine do you use it with? Thanks! PT Hi I get my linen from Abbey Saddlery (more out of necessity than choice as they have bought out most of my suppliers) and use Somac I stopped using Barbour’s many years ago because it had a lot of knots and lumps, it may have improve since but I haven’t used it in maybe 20 years. And my machine is a Pearson (BUSMC) No6 harness machine. Linen will work in all machines and its good practice to oil the top thread on heavy stitchers you can use any vegetable oil or baby oil.
