Moderator Wizcrafts Posted October 9, 2015 Moderator Report Posted October 9, 2015 The concept of unobtainium is often applied flippantly or humorously. For instance, unobtainium is described as being stronger than helium, and lighter than air. They must be some damned good needles. ;} Unobtanium needles are actually constructed of an immeasurable amount of triple resublimated thiotimaline, rendering them absolutely clear to the naked eye. The needles exist, so to speak, but cannot be seen. They are meant to be used to sew invisible thread, also containing triple resublimated thiotimaline.

SAFETY WARNING:: You forgot to mention the part about the special atomic shielding needed due to the fact that the hole the needles make is so small it is actually a negative hole, and can disrupt the spacetime continuum, causing bad things and stuff.

Members dikman Posted October 9, 2015 Members Report Posted October 9, 2015 I thik I'll stick to my plain steel needles....... Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members Constabulary Posted October 9, 2015 Members Report Posted October 9, 2015 Try a different needles system, maybe 135x17 and adjust the needles bar accordingly. I have setup a couple of machines with 135x17 needles, f.i. Singer 17, Pfaff 145, Singer 96K. And I´m just refurbishing a Singer 34K S.V. 5 post bed machine and if possible I will set it up to 135x17 as well. I´m using 135x17 needles when ever possible. Advantage is you don´t have to stock different needles system in various sizes and tips.

Any recommendations on what would be the best fishing boat for my clearly visible boat anchor? I like your description but somehow I got to rig this thing up so I can at least justify to my better half I did the right thing. She doesn't like to fish..... Quote

Get a boat made of thiotimaline infused Unconstructium! The boats are sold by the same people who distribute the Unobtanium needles.

CowboyBob Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Constabulary is right,the 135x17 or 135x16D(leather point) should work,that is what we always sell for these machines & they are very easy to find.You might have to drop the needlebar down 1/8" to make them work.
