According to this chart, the Singer 40 takes ordinary 15x1 needles. Has your model 40 been modified to take the 24x1? Or maybe it came with a manual for the model 24? That one does take the 24x1 needle.
Is your machine a model 40?
If so, you might want to at least try a standard home sewing machine needle, since two sources tell us that the model 40 takes that needle.
Thanks, but no, mine is not a 40, it is a 40K.
(look under the listing for a "Sew Handy" toy machine)
The ISMACS list shows the 24x1 but...
According to the 40K manual it takes a "Cat. 1113 Class 24x3 Size 11" needle.
:(
Link to the manual:

The machine is somewhere in transit.
When I get it, I may know a bit more.
I'll try the 24x1 needles.. *cross my fingers*
I'm just trying to have things prepared ahead of its arrival!
