Re the Priscilla: If it is a Davis, it might take a 15X1 needle, otherwise it will take the elusive 20X1 needle. Possible manufacturers are Davis, Household & New Home. Possible needles are Boye #2, #4 and #14. Considering adopting this machine but I'd like to know a bit more. The gal, alleged seamstress, said she had a bunch and couldn't rightly remember this machine.
