Members SARK9 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Members Report Posted December 13, 2013 The 88x9 was listed in several older sources that I felt were reliable. However, since I saw several others that indicated the 16x257, and I had no real experience with either, I ordered 10 of *both* types and tried them out. For whatever reason, this particular machine would not form a stitch with the shorter #19 88x9's, but happily stitched away with the 16x257's. -DC Quote Machines: Juki LU-563, Consew 206-RB5, Singer 20U33, Pfaff 481, Mitsubishi CU-865-22, Consew 29B, Rebadged Juki LU-562, Mitsubishi LS2-180, Seiko SK-6, Juki LG-158-1

It's that simple.
