If you do purchase this machine, be careful about needles. It is often stated that this machine must use a 206x13, which is very similar to a standard needle, but not quite the same. Using a standard needle might cause damage. The 206,306,319 and maybe other machines are said to require this needle. This issue is often argued at length online. I got some of these needles for my 306, and they work perfectly. Currently these are available directly from Schmetz and also on eBay, but in limited sizes (11 and 14). Possibly another company makes them also.
