I've just spent a small fortune on these needles so darn it, I want to use them!
That would be my next thought, to try a 15x1 needle just in case someone has already adjusted it for you. When I got my used 319, I think someone had tried a 15x1 needle in it because it had one in it and would not sew at all, and is super cool with the real thing for sure. Good luck!! Also, whoever had tried to make it sew had loosened the pressure foot bar and put it back on backwards, yes I said backwards, and can you believe it didn't sew like that??!!
