Treadle machine

Treadle machine
I have an old treadle machine and would like to know if I need special sewing needles. I am using a universal needle and it does not pick up the bobbin thread. Any help would be appreciated.

I, too, have a treadle machine...unfortunately haven't had a chance to play with her much...the spot I want to locate her is already full. I do know that Singer needles came with her. The machine is a Montgomery Ward Damascus Grand.

"Damascus Grand" is a National made Rotary machine, and it does take the same size needle as the Singer. the "Damascus" (not grand) I've seen have all been VS machines, and the National VS machines I've encountered take a longer needle.
