Boye Needle Chart as listed on the Boye Countertop Sales Display
The Original Chart |
Boye Needles underwent a few changes over the years and the most dramatic change was the reassignment of size designation for needles, shuttles & bobbins. If you haven't been able to size your machine, my recommendation is to try the original chart sizing. If sizes on LEFT don't work, use sizes on RIGHT |

Boye Needle Chart as listed on the Boye Countertop Sales Display
The Original Chart |
Boye Needles underwent a few changes over the years and the most dramatic change was the reassignment of size designation for needles, shuttles & bobbins. If you haven't been able to size your machine, my recommendation is to try the original chart sizing. If sizes on LEFT don't work, use sizes on RIGHT |
