Need opinions please. How much "stuff" should be with this to make it cost effective? Also, she says OBO so maybe I could get her down some.

Is there a Singer that does decorative stitches and is able to be treadled? I think some 328's can, but was wondering if there are others? I love to applique but want to do it on a treadle! (I know, I'm weird.) Anyone have any info?

Not Glenn, but no, the 206 x 13 is for the 206/306/319/320 machines.
HOWEVER, my original point (before I threw in the ps on 206 needles) is that 20 x 1 needles are STILL available. You might have to do a bit of hunting, but it will be a lot cheaper than buying them on EBAY!!
[quote=BZ quilting]Glenn, is that the same as the 20X1??

I haven't personally bought from either of these sites, but these are the ones that pop up on a brief search. I would search until I got the best price. (And of course, post it to all your friends!)
Also, according to the ISMACS needle info, it's often possible to get a 15 x 1 to work in a machine originally designed for 20 x 1 just by cheating the needle down a bit.
I've also noticed that there are places "out there" to buy the 206 x 13 needles by the hundred. I was under the impression they were being phased out?
Did you get more than you need? I have been looking and looking for some for my Minnesota and have not been able to find them. I only have one needle and am so afraid of breaking it. If you do have a couple extra I would love to buy them.
Thanks
Bev
Bev, I was only able to get six needles, BUT!! I am going to go see the local SM "repair" guy (in quotes because his talents are questionable!!) and if I'm not mistaken, he's got a box or two in the back room...if he does, do you want me to get you some?
allbrand.com sells 206X13 100 for about $49. Pam at the Toga gave me this info.

Your FW attachments will work perfectly.
I have two of these 185's and LOVE them!
