When I bought my Featherweight it had quite a few Organ brand needles in it. I am now at the bottom of them and have been unable to find any. They worked fine and I hesitate to change. Does anyone know where I can purchase that brand needles?

I think you can get them from Newark Dressmaker Supply or HomeSew.

Then search for sewing machine needles.

I have used Schmetz needles in my featherweight with no problems. Schmetz brand is widely available in JoAnn Fabrics, etc.
Also, since the featherweight is a Singer, Singer brand needles should fit. Just check the back of the package. If it lists model numbers, you want to make sure model 221 is on there.

She actually advertises needles for a Featherweight.

I use Organ needles in all of my machines and I really like them, never had a problem with them. Come to think of it, I have NEVER had a problem with any brand of needles. YAY!! They are all well made.

I just got my new Featherweight this week. I just tried it out last night I think it needs a really good cleaning. It doesn't have a book so I will have to get one of those. I hope to get it sewing sonething tonight.
