FYI, the "singer" name on notions doesn't belong to the singer sewing machine company anymore. that part of the company was splintered off a while ago. VSM - a big company - now makes machines for singer, viking, pfaff & white, but they sell singer-compatible needles, etc. under the brand name "inspira". I'd recommend schmetz, organ or klasse needles anyway. they fit nearly all domestic sewing machines, new & old singers included.
