I'm having a hard time finding the dimensions for those particular needles. I'll keep looking.

Hi Janey,
The system 75 or 581 are the same as the W&G chainstitch needle just a bit longer, roughly 1/8". This needle is used on the American Edge Baster (whatever that is, lol) as well as the W&G Type 10 and 11. The shanks of these needles can be ground down and work on the chain stitchers. I'd love to find a bunch of size 12's which are no longer made for the CS. The new needle sizes start at 14 and get larger up to 19.
