needle size. New England Queen by Natinal
 

Can anyone tell me the needle size of New England Queen by National? Thankee..

It is a vibrating shuttle leaf tension beastie.

20x1 possibly Leon

It looks like that quite possibly there were two New England Queen badges. The National one was a rotary. The A G Mason one was the long shuttle. I sure wish Needlebar still had their image gallery. ISMACS has a needle list that lists the Mason as a "New England (Queen)" and would use the 20x1 as Jon stated in the link above. As you probably know, a 15x1 can be used if dropped a bit. Joe Miller did a hack by cutting a flat magnet (like fidge advertising magnets) to the correct length and inserted, so could use a 15x1 without too much trouble.

thanks. Mine is a long shuttle. I'll see what happens.

If it is like my Queen over here:

then it would be 20x1.

Mine is quite different. Different casting and stitch length slide is parallel to the base/ Pics later/

Tried a 15 in it today with a National shuttle and bobbine. Got stitches, but extra noises and it isn't pretty.
