Old New Home - needles?
I was given an old New Home Light Running sewing machine. It is goldish/brown in color, it has a greyhound dog that says light running on him. It was made in Rockford, IL. model NLC. It has a shorter needle than my organ needles. It says CC 1221 on the picture of the needle size to use, that is on the bed of the machine. I need to know if any of you can tell me who would sell this type needles? It does have a flat side. I hope this makes sense. This machine hasn't been used in about 50 years, according to the man at the estate sale.

Someone here most likely knows but this might help you until they answer.

You can find them at this site. https://www.sew4less.com/product_det...ProductID=3885
There a probably other sites that sell them. Look also for 203x13 needles. They are supposed to work as a replacement
for the CC1221 needles. BTW, the hand wheel turns away from you. Did you get a manual with your machine?

The hand wheel does turn away from you. The bobbin is a little tricky to get out. I didn't get a manual, I wish I had. It has a buttonholer and some feet that I don't know what they are for. It cleaned up well. The cabinet was all apart from sitting in a basement. It sounds loud, but, I hadn't put grease on all the gears yet. I am having trouble getting 2 screws out. It also doesn't have a belt, it has a rubber wheel that is attached to the motor that goes up against the handwheel,that was a first for me. The chrome/shiny parts look great. I wish I knew how to post a pic.

You can download a manual at this link. http://www.ismacs.net/newhome/manual...pages-1-13.pdf
It is for the NLB model but there should not be much, if any, difference. I keep a piece of folded batting between the rubber wheel and the handwheel on my NLB. The rubber wheel will develop a flat spot on it if it has sat against the handwheel for a long time.
