Featherweights use regular type needles. Just go with your favorite brand. Don't forget to check out in your manual which way the needle hole is to face and which direction you run the thread through the hole. :-)

I use Schmetz. Mary, the lady that organizes the bi-monthly retreats at Threads of Time showed me some Schmetz that she bought off ebay, I think, 100 for 31 cents each! You have to get 100 because they come in a little box that way. The little box has a thing in it that keeps them in order. It was really cool.
