I have a question... I have Googled but haven't found an answer. I came into some Nelco "Super Polished" system 15x1-11 needles. They look just like all of the needles I have used before. Can they be used in my Brother or Singer sewing machine?

130 705H (Schmetz or Bernina)and 15x1 (Singer) and HAx1 (Organ) all have the same configuration. Which means they are the same length from the top of the needle to the top of the eye. The Singer needles are thinner at the top of the shaft, and can fall out of some machines.
Actually, most vintage Singers take a normal needle. Except for the "slant" machines.
