Does anyone have this exact serger and know what needles fit it??
Edit: Fixed! All good now!!
I got this for free a few months ago and it came with no manual, and one broken needle which someone else has since taken and lost. It was an absurdly narrow shanked needle and nothing else I can find fits this machine.
Judging from the name I assume it to be about 25 years old, and I can't find anything about it online.
The Reliable website only has info on their industrial sergers and doesn't mention domestic ones anywhere, and they never replied to the email I sent them.
The holes are so tiny that the shanks of the needles that fit it must not be much more than 1.5 millimetres across.
Before the broken needle was lost I took it to Fabricville and compared it to all the machine needles there and they were all considerably bigger.
I can't find the Reliable brand on any needle size charts and I'm very frustrated.
I'm wondering if DBx1 needles might fit, as it says here that their shanks are 1.63 mm, but I figure I ought to ask the public just in case before I waste any more money ordering mystery needles. (I already ordered some Singer ones and they didn't fit.)
The machine seems to run smoothly and hopefully ought to work, if I could only find needles that fit these goddamn tiny holes.
