Looking for KK1221 Needles
I recently purchased an old Janome portable machine that needs KK1221 needles. Does anyone know a resource for these? Does anyone know a replacement needle for the KK1221 needle? thanks, Kathleen

I don’t know for sure, but I think it might take a 20x1 type needle.
The machine on your manual appears to be one of the machines that was designed by the Portman Sewing Machine Company, and called by several names. Seamstress, N-50, and Model J are a few of them. I have a Montgomery Ward version of it that’s either an N-50 or a Model J, I haven’t ever figured that out.

No. I selected this machine to experiment with treadling a freearm machine for use in mending denim jeans. I’ve went as far as removing the motor and test-fitting the machine to a flat surface treadle top to look at the possibility. I got hung-up on exactly how I would stabilize the machine without modifying or changing the machine, and haven’t ever gotten back to the project. The needle type has also been a deterrent to my project, since my mending activities usually muck out a few needles, and the needles for this machine are not common. The machine currently lives in its case in my bathroom, and is now serving as a very nice magazine stand.
