Any 15x1 needle will fit your FW...the needle SHOULD go in with the flat of the needle to the left. You can use your regular machine oil on it, and be SUPER frugal on oiling the motor....more than one motor has bit the dust because of over-zealous oiling! ;)
Here's the website that has the manual for your machine (your model is a 221) ...and the attachments are an easy find on ebay! :)

[quote=Greeter EvaWhere do you find the model 221 on the machine? I can find the serial number , but not that one. What does that number really stand for?[/quote]
A lot of the machines have a small plate under the Singer seal that says 221, often with a "J". "K" or "1". 221 is the model number (just as the first Singer I ever bought was a 237). If you aren't sure what your model number is, go to this site and find your serial number. http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_numbers.html
