Sewing Machines That Use 206×13 Needles

The 206×13 needle system is a flat-shank, sharp-pointed industrial needle designed for specific vintage Singer rotary hook and swing needle sewing machines. It is not the common 15×1 needle used in most modern home machines.

Compatible Singer Models

Schmetz and other suppliers list the 206×13 needle as intended for the following Singer models

• Singer 206
• Singer 206K
• Singer 306K
• Singer 306W
• Singer 319K
• Singer 319W
• Singer 320
• Singer 320K

These are primarily rotary hook and swing needle machines, not standard shuttle machines.

Needle System Cross-References

The 206×13 needle is also known as:

• SY2029
• HPx13
• CANU: 21:32 2

Why Use 206×13 Needles?

Using the correct needle system is important because:

• The flat shank and sharp point are designed for the machine’s bobbin case and hook mechanism.
• Using common 15×1 needles can damage the bobbin case and cause stitching issues

Needle Sizes

The 206×13 needle is available in two sizes:

• Size 12 (metric 80/12) – for light to medium fabrics like cotton, linen, rayon, and silk.
• Size 14 (metric 90/14) – for heavier fabrics

In summary: If you have a Singer 206, 206K, 306K, 306W, 319K, 319W, or 320/320K rotary hook or swing needle machine, you should use 206×13 needles to avoid damage and ensure optimal performance.
