Your machine will use any quality made system 15x1 needle. Schmetz, Organ, others, and even Singers. But as Shelbie said, Singer needles are not what they used to be. I've found their quality varies from package to package.
Some are great, some are stinkers. I use Schmetz primarily, but I've used Organ, Singer, and others with good results.

No, but the person who told you that, probably read it in the manual. I actually find my FW to be not too picky. Not picky on needles, not picky on thread. I have other machines that either only like one type of thread (Gutterman) and some that flat out refuse to use a certain brand of thread (Mettler). Not the same machines either.

If you buy 100 needles cheap on line take a magnifying glass and look at the needles are the shafts straight? Are the holes evenly shaped? You can not return them after the first couple days. ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS.
