    I've done that, too. Some times it works. I just figure the right person will come along sooner or later when I'm selling stuff. If he priced it right it shouldn't sit there in the first place.

    I just picked up a 206K at a yard sale. Does this take the special needle or the regular 15X1 needle? Just curious ~ this machine has a funky lever on the front which moves the needle position. Jane was born on Feb 25, 1953. I got a baggie of attachments with her plus a cabinet ~ the seller didn't want to let either of those go.

    Yes, the needles are available - but 100 of them - good machine though

    If you want to read - the 319 I did up has a LOAD of advice from the true experts on that thread:

    The 206, 306, and 319 all operate similar.
