What Kind ? Sewing Machine Needles
#1
Can someone tell me what kind of sewing machine needles I need for my 1941 Singer 15-91? I'm not sure if there are certain ones to use or not use. I don't have the manual and hope someone here can help me. I would really like to start using her...
Thanks!

I've always been confused by needles also. Why are there so many different sizes???? For my viking designer, I use Schmetz universal 130/705 for piecing (for no reason; I just guessed), found I needed a top stitch needle for thick thread and bought 130N and for some reason decided I needed quilting needles and bought 130/705 also. All this was a shot in the dark. What SHOULD I be buying? They're also so expensive!

This is kind of an answer to the lady who was having trouble FMQ sideways. I changed machines to do the FM and took out the needle that was in there as it kept jamming up. I thind it was a quilting needle (green color on it). Looked in the box of needles and found a loose one with a longer thread hole, no color on it. Worked beautifully!!! No more jamming when I went sideways. Don't know what kind it is, haven't found another one yet in all my stash's, could be a topstitch needle.
