Beth, I recommend you get Singer Sewing Needles for your featherweight, most
other brands will fit, but they seem to be off in the timing.
Enjoy your new addiction.

I'm taking the big step to become more of a SMA (sewing machine
addict). I am now interested in a Featherweight, Model 221. Forgive
me if I appear to be "out to lunch" but I thought I saw somewhere
(like Ebay) that I had to use special needles for this machine. Is
this true? I haven't
seen any special ones in the fabric shops/online notions stores, so
I'm not sure. If you have a featherweight, what kind of needle would
you normally use?
