They are very helpful and their prices are very good. Maybe they could help you with the 20 x 1?

Thanks Jan!! I will check that out!
Treadlelady.com advertises 20x1 needles 3 for $10.00. I bought mine off ebay right after I got my Davis VF but I cant remember how much I paid, sorry.
My Davis doesn't take the 20x1, that's the AG Mason that takes those (and I need some of them too, THANKS!)...the Davis takes the Davis Long Needle, or the Boye 10....I just got 3 tubes on ebay...that should last me a short while until I find the Organ needles that Kevin says will work... :)
Charlee if you find youself short of Boye 10 you can cheat with a 15X1 by not placing the needle so high in the bar. Lower it until is sews good then mark the needle with a fine sharpie so you can mark other needles when you run short of Boye 10's I find this works great on my Davis.
