Members wildbunch Posted August 7, 2021 Author Members Report Posted August 7, 2021 ik heb de machine gekocht,i thought he had something. I wonder what kind of needle fits in it.16x2 is almost impossible to get. I want there V 69 and V 92 on use. what needle system do you use? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted August 7, 2021 Members Report Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Nice! Please post some more pictures of this machine so we have a reference for other members. Seems to be a Singer 16 needle so I would look for needle system 1738 which is also called 16x23 or 16x257 or DBx1 or 287 WH sometimes. Or depending on the needle holder and / or the size of the hole in the needle bar you probably can use a more common needle like 134R or 135x17 but you have to adjust the needle bar height. The 2 mentioned have a ~2mm shank diameter whereas the original system has smaller diameter. If it was my machine I would order a pack of lets say size 120 needle in 134R and just test if they fit. Adjusting the needle bar height is an easy task.
