Where can I find needles for my Necchi 544 sewing machine? Need system 705 (corresponding to system 15 x 1 needles).

Perhaps a manual would be helpful:

Your owner's manual should tell you what type needles your machine uses. According to this site, 130/705 needles will work with your machine, are also very common, and are available in several brands: Schmetz, Janome, Organ, etc.

In addition, you will need to determine the needle sizes (60/8 through 120/19) as well as the needle point (universal, ball-point, sharp/microtex, top stitch, embroidery, leather...) so the needle is compatible with the thread and fabric you are stitching.

SCHMETZ Household Needle Chart

Be sure to change the needles frequently. A needle should be replaced about every 8 hours of sewing time. Sewists tend to skimp in this regard (although needles are the least expensive fix!), but the needle is the most frequent cause of sewing machine issues. So, if your machine begins to misbehave, the first thing to try is a brand new needle.

Consult the owner's manual. It should provide instructions on what needles the machine uses. Searching on the internet shows 130/705 needles, which is a pretty common needle frequently found in fabric stores.

I have 2 necchi sewing machines & one babylock serger & use
SCHMETZ UNIVERSAL on all of them & the needle work great on them all
130/705 H 15x1H SIZE 90/14
flat side goes toward the back of the machine & inserted all the way up into the needle holder

Could the needle be in backwards?
Flat shank to the back. Is the needle fully up into the housing?
If these check out okay then the timing could be off. If it hasn't been serviced in last 2years then it might be time for one.

Hi kdee2555 If its a 544 try ebay, copy and paste this link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sewing-Machine-Parts-NECCHI-544-MOTOR-DRIVE-BELT_W0QQitemZ300338151525QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CraftsCollect_SewingMachines_RL?hash=item45ed8c8065#ht_1139wt_730 £5.99 + £2.50 P&P

Your machine uses standard needles. 15x1 system 705 sizes 9-18 which you can buy where ever needles are sold. If the needles appear to be too short, then you have a timing problem
