No, you are probably thinking of the 20x1. The 206x13 needle is shorter both in length and from eye to point. You can read about them on this thread 206x13 needles and the picture of the needles in post 5 https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...edle-comps.jpg

There are some that will retime the machine to be able to use 15x1, but my personal and some others is to leave the timing alone and use the needles that it is supposed to use. Granted you do not have the many point types and sizes available in the correct system needles, but that is why we have several machines to use. That way you can use a variety of machines for the purpose that they are best at.
