Glenn,
The 16x1 needle is the same length as a 16x231, DBx1, 16x87 and all have a round shank. The shank is listed as 1.63mm in diameter. Some DBx1 needles are 2.02mm in diameter. Household 15x1 needles are also the same length, and 2.02mm in diameter. Check and see if a 15x1 will fit up in the needlebar. A larger shank can sometimes change the eye to the hook distance, so check by carefully turning the machine by hand and watching the hook and needle.
