Featherweight needles
Are the sewing machine needles required by Featherweights different from the standard sewing machine needles used today? I know the bobbins are different.

So glad you asked. I also want to know.
|
Nope, Featherweights use the regular old 15x1 needles. On in Singer vernacular 2020s.
But remember, they go flat to the left, and thread right to left. Joe |
Can any of the schmetz needles be used in a FW or Singer 15-90?
|
The brand of needle has no bearing on it. Schmetz makes the standard needles by the tons.
The # 130/705H you see on the Schmetz pack is just their number for that system of needle. Organ uses a different number too. Joe |
Thank you for the info, Joe!!!!
|
I use the Schmetz in my clone 15-91 and my featherweight.
|
Good to know. Thank you!

Okay. I have the "proper" needle and I have followed the threading diagram (and am threading the needle from right to left). I have put the Bobbin in the bobbin case with the thread "travelling" in the same direction as the diagram in the manual...any other reasons why I'm getting a thread jam?
