[tibee]

Hi,

I have a techsew 2750 and Im looking to get some 135x16 LR to fit it in size #19, 20 , 21 . Does anyone have a source for those.. preferably in North America, Ideally in Toronto.

Thanks!

Surely Ron at Techsew  in Montreal ( LW member TechSew Ron) can conjure up some leather needles for the machines he sells.

Of course he can! I get all my needles and thread from techsew for my machine.

These folks got 'em up to size 19 (and they're FAST).

The specs for the 2750 on the Techsew site say the machine uses 135x17, sizes18-24. There's plenty of them on Amazon.ca too.

135x17 is a round point for wooven goods, not leather. I prefer Groz Beckert needles.

Thanks Gottaknow.  Where would I find that kind of needle spec information?

You're gonna have to go stateside, as Techsew has a limited selection, and will only sell you boxes of 100 needles. I bought 2 boxes because they were on sale, and they are not top quality. If you do buy from Techsew, get the more expensive needles and save some headaches, ie thread shearing and breakage.

For information, http://www.grozbeckert.com 

GB are high quality and consistent. I also use Schmetz when I have to.

I can't believe how much these small resellers charge for their needles. I pay $13.50 per 100. Yes, I buy high volume, but still even at my price, my supplier makes a profit. Huge markup.
