Best needles and thread size for Singer 301
As posted earlier, I recently acquired a 301. Since the threading of right to left is different, do I have to buy certain needles for it? What size needles and thread do you generally use when piecing, quilting, and free motion with your 301? I usually stick to Schmetz or Organ needles as I've found the quality of Singer needles to not really be there. Thanks for any suggestions, I'm excited to start using the machine.
