take a special length needle? I will check further on here. Thanks so much, everyone. Happy New Year to you.
Glad dealer got it back together for you.
Thank you so much for letting us know how it turned out.
The featherweight (Singer 221) takes a regular 15x1 aka system 130/705 domestic sewing machine needle that you can get at Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, sewing machine dealer, etc.
Happy New Year.
