Sharon and others,
Most toy sewing machines take the 24x1 needle. A good sub is the DCX1F needle. The 20x1 needle is way too long.

I always just go with, "this one? it's been down in the garage for months!" unless I actually get caught unloading it, in which case I just batt my eyelashes and cook a steak for dinner.

Yup. Weighed it in the case. Because that's how I have to carry it!

I also like your quilted placemats!
Thank you, that placemat pattern is really simple.

I have the Glenda Thomas encyclopedia of toy machines and will look at it and get back to you.
I do have needles that will work.

I will bring her with me the next time I come over so we can find the appropriate screw!
Also, when looking at DamascusAnnie's site, her toy Damascus has a spring above the tension disks, that I am missing?
Nancy
Thank you everyone, I think those toy machines are just so cute! Besides, they take up no room!
