Hello, I'm from Italy so I apologize for my English.
I recently bought my first sewing machine, a D9.
I like it very much,and while cleaning the needle, a 127x1, it broke in my hands.
It's my first machine, I've never used one, and I didn't know the needle was so fragile.
I looked for 127x1 for sale but I only found something in the United States and between shipping and taxes it would cost me too much,and anyway would not be a definitive solution,which can only be the possibility of needles of common diffusion.
So i'd like to know if there is a real alternative that does not affect the proper functioning of the machine.
Reading a discussion,i tought i understood that the possible alternatives would be the MY1014 and DBX1 needles, but i don't understand if these are really 100% compatible, and if these would have with a D9 the same performance as 127x1.
Excluding the bar mod,has anyone extensively tested these needles on a D9 .. or found a definitive solution?
Thanks
Mario

Hi Mario,

The MY1014 needles are a good 127x1 substitute.? There are no other substitutes readily available that I'm aware of.?

The DBx1 needle shank is too large to insert in the D9.? It's OK but shorter for the older 9 that used 126x1 round shanked needles and had the fold back bobbin holder.? ?

Hi Jon,
thanks for your reply.
From Schmetz website i see that there are different types of MY1014 (B,D,H,C,SES,SUK,etc.) which do not differ in needle size (Shank-?:1.48 mm,Lenght to eye:38.9mm),but in some characteristics like Stitchtype (Locstitich,Chainstitch),Point style (Medium ball,Light ball,Normal round),and size (from 60 to 100 nm), all of these are suitable for D9 or would you recommend me one particular ?
Then, if I may ask you,the D9 manual lists needles size -2,3,4,5,6,7-, as far as you know, the sizes given by the manual to how many Nm correspond to today's sizes?

Hi Phyllis,
your positive experience with MY1014's reassures me, and comforts me about the breakage of my only 127x1 needle, which was probably as old as the machine.
Congratulations on your wonderful collection, and yes, the W&W's are beautiful, well built, and in my opinion they also have more aesthetic personality than the other brands.
Their cabinets was also much more refined than others.They are treasures to be preserved,and i hope that all those in circulation end up in the right hands.
Here in Europe they are rare and expensive and almost all without cabinet,but I have seen that in the USA you are lucky enough to be able to get someone and at good prices.
I hope to be able to acquire more over time,but now i'm delighted with my D9 and hope I can get it back in great shape.
Regards
Mario

Greetings from Central Florida!

If you search MY1014 on the Facebook wheeler and Wilson page, there’s also a discussion about these needles.

MY1014B is?the most suitable needle for general sewing that is still made today.? 1014A has been combined with 1014B on new Groz Beckert needle packaging.? B is light ball (FFG) and A is round point (R).? Groz Beckert lists the needles as FFG, light ball.? SES is another way to express light ball.? SUK is medium ball.

W&W needle size as follows.? #2 = size 9, Nm 65.? #3 = 11/ 75.? #4 = 14/90.? #5 = 16/100.? #6 = 18/110.? #7 = 19/120 or 20/125.? I was able to convert the cotton size in the W&W D9 manual to Singer needle size and then to metric.
