This has already been answered, but the 127/27 takes a Schmetz 15x1 needle. The kind you see all the time in JoAnnes, Walmart, quilt stores. There is nothing unique about the needle, but I found on my Sphinx, it likes the Schmetz 15x1 universal needles the best - in the size appropriate for the fabric you are sewing.
