I went to a LSMG today and asked if he had the needles that I needed, thanks to Cathy for listing the size could use instead of the 12x1. He brought out what he had and said they were 35 cents each. Rather than to have to make another trip there another time, about 30 miles one way, and he just might not be reordering them again, ( I was going to that town for something else anyway) I bought all 16 that he had left. $5.99 including tax for them. I'm happy to report that they are also Organ brand like Cathy suggested I get. Haven't tried them yet, but will tomorrow. I want to try filling my bobbin first as I don't think there is any way I can stop the needle's action when filling a bobbin. Will be my first time at filling one by crank. I also have to figure out how to thread the machine.....
