Just to be absolutely clear Steve, you're referring to a 12x1 needle, right? If so, I'll commit to a box (of 100 needles) in size 14. The size 12s are not hard to find?

Oh and with this post I think I'm becoming super. After I hit submit I'm heading for the nearest telephone box

I am not selling anything yet. And if we do I would not break the rules and post about it here.

this is talking about what it would take to get it done and seeing if there's a level of interest and if so which. if we do anything real, we'll either take it off the board and deal with it there, or become paid advertisers.

SteveH

and yes Size 12x1 in size 14(NM90) is the current front runner for consideration

manicmike

I wouldn't be posting about it here either. Suggesting it as a good idea isn't breaking the rules is it?

This has been an interesting thread. I'll keep watching just in case you ever do get to the needles I can use.

Thanks for putting this idea out for consideration.

Found a source of the Singer 12x1 needles for model 12, 12K, or New Family

http://www.btrade.ch/339-LAX339_1

Size 14 = NM90

System 339

Canu 23:51

Minimum order is $50

Also available to order is W&G chainstitcher needles, 20x1, Davis Long, and Eldredge/ National Rotary.

Needles are Schmetz. This is a Swiss outfit I have no affiliation with and shipping is very reasonable.

PS--Also 206x13

Jon,

I'm checking this site out right now but am finding it very difficult. Can you point me to the 20x1 and Davis long listings?

Oh, since I don't speak Swiss or German or what ever language that's in, what do I look for to tell how many needles per package I'm ordering?

And is that Our price: CHF 10.80 Swiss Francs? My currency converter doesn't list Swiss dollars.
