Your sewing machine uses a type 70E or tyDe 130 needle. This number refers to the length and configuration of the needle. It is best to purchase your needles from your dealer. How ever, if this is not possible due to some emer gency condition in your locality you can get by temporarily with what is commonly calle d a 15x1 needle which is carried in stock by almo st all sewing machine stores or wherever they sell sewing machine needles. The above-mentioned needles come in various widths. And the larger the width num ber the larger the eye of the needle. With regard to the size of the needle it may be generally said that numbers 80/12 or 90/14 can be used for most fabrics. For a finer thread or for sheer or tight ly woven fabrics a finer needle can be used. For a very heavy or stiff fabric a heav y needle can be used; the higher the needle number the heavier the needle. The sizes of threa d and needle to be used are shown in the char t.
