I'm eye balling a 206K. Oh I'm in trouble now. That is the one machine on my Holy Grail list. I've seen a total of three and missed out on all of them. Might just try again. I'm nuts ...... :D

Don't re-time the machine. You could damage the bobbin case, or worse. Allbrands also sells needles for the Singer 206/306/and 319. All use the same needles. Get those instead. They are sold by the 100 to a box, and that would be good to have some for the future for those machines.

cute cricket ... :)
The biggest problem with those sold by AllBrands is they only have size 12 and 14. I also want to find some 16s and perhaps 18s for heavier stuff ..... like denim. These are for my wife's 314. If I ever get a 206 I'll be scrounging for the heavier needles. :D Joe |
Those Singer 206. 306 and 319 machines are very nice. I am so lucky none of mine came altered. I am so glad to see this needle info! Thanks Cathy and Joe.

Nope, I haven't purchased any recently. We do have some size 16 206-13s from before they quit carrying them and they work fine.

I have a lot of needles that I got in a bulk purchase that are for industrial type machines that I have no use for. I will get the sizes and post them maybe someone on this board can use them. Will post tomorrow on what I have.

great information!

Thanks to all for the information. If you find those larger sizes, Joe, please post the source. Thanks...

There are some 16s on ebay but they come from Australia http://www.ebay.com/itm/Needles-for-...item20c5d85b44 And here's a site that has them (never bought from this site so don't know anything about 'em) http://www.shop.heavysew.com/Needle-...x13-100-16.htm
