I just got a Singer 319w because I gave my former one to my daughter and wanted another. Not wanting to break her heart by taking it back
, I purchased this one and traveled a long way to get it. This one didn't come with anything and I didn't think about the needles. I assumed it would sew with the original ones Singer intended them to use...the 206s. I just put the new needle in and here is my results: It sews a beautiful single stitch with a very rare skip. Change to a zig zag or decorative stitch and it sews a mess...skips stitches like crazy. There are no snarls or anything, just skips stitches. Could this possibly be a machine someone has changed to use the modern size needles? I haven't put one in because I do not wish to bang the bobbin case up. There is no notching out done on the bobbin case at all. Any suggestions?
