Needles for AMF-Reece Sewing Machines
Important Notes - System Specific
System Specific - Sometimes, the needle point, needle size, or both affect the needle system designation. Some common exceptions include:
- DBx1: This system has a shank diameter of 1.63 mm up to size 110/18. For sizes above 110/18, the shank diameter increases to 2.00 mm and it becomes system 134. To maintain the 1.63 mm shank diameter in larger sizes, switch to system 1738A.
- 135x16 and 135x17: These needle systems are interchangeable. 135x16 needles have leather points, while 135x17 needles have cloth points.
