Last night I got my new Singer all cleaned up, got the tension set on some test fabric... and then decided to change the needle and "really sew". It all went to heck... I noticed the needle I took off said "Singer", and I just used some quilting needles to replace. I couldnt get it to stitch... then I put the old needle back, and it still wouldnt stitch. Ugh. I did rethread the top... but not the bobbin (of course, now that I am not at home I think, why didnt I do that). But... is there something else I should be doing? What about needles... is there special needles for a 401??

Thanks for your help QB'ers!
