I am assuming these are the Schmetz MY1014 needles that Kevin Pinkerton has recommended? If anyone has used them and they work in your machine, let us know!!
If the Schmetz needles work, buying them 100 at a time will definitely save money. I have NOT tried these myself, as I bought a lifetime supply when I heard the 127 X 1 needles were being discontinued.
FYI, I have heard that needles for the 306 were being discontinued as well. If you have Singer 206/306/319/320 machines, now is the time. . . . .
Sorry, Miz Johnny I found which needles you were referring to, but how do we find them 100 at a time? I'm with Charlee, I don't know where to get them?

This chart shows the MY1014 needle needle as a replacement for the 127 X 1:

I'm not sure where to get the Schmetz needles, but the Organ needles can be bought here:

I have bought from CTS, and like them.
Here are charts showing different designations for 1014 A, B, etc:

At the top of page 326, I posted some information from Kevin about these needles. I HAVE NOT TRIED THESE NEEDLES, but if you want to find out how they work on your machine, your best bet is to do an internet search, find someone selling them, buy and test.
