I cannot get it to make a stitch, does it take a special needle?
I think it is a 28.

Hi, it's a 66 or 99 depending on length of bed. 14-5/8" is a 66 full size. Best bet is to download a free Singer Manual http://www.cuttersexchange.com/IPinstManuals/. This will give much useful info and your machine probably just needs a good cleaning and lubing to work. The needles are standard 15x1.
Good Luck

Thanks, it is a bit smaller machine.

Thanks for your help.
Ooops! I looked at your picture. You are correct it is a 28.

Hi BZ,
Sorry about the mis-informatin but the links are good for your manual. The 127 is a bigger version of the 28 or 128 and takes a 15x1 needle. You might want to verify, though. :)
