There is a green/aqua one sitting at my local thrift shop since a few months. It need rewiring. I was tempted, but the idea of having to get another kind of needle (I have already ones for my Singer serger, my coverstitch machine, my embroidery machine...) was a turn off for me. In addition, aren't they loud?

I have two of the 319W (black) with discs in cabinets. Neat machines but I cannot find the correct needles. Does anyone no a source to purchase them?

The 206 is a very neat machine. Don't let the needles stop anybody from using one of them a 306 or a 319 - just buy 100 needles at a time - google search forever!

It maybe that we will order Schmetz even though they are a lot more money. This wasn't just one needle in a pack this was 100 needles. Buyer beware.

We have had them before from other places and the needles were fine. These are exceptionally BAD every single one of them.
