Where can I buy sewing machine needles?
Posted on January 10th, 2010 by admin
My aunt gave me an old sewing machine a while back. It still works but the needle broke in half. I tried to replace the needle with another from a sewing machine that doesn’t work but the needle didn’t fit. Where can I find one and make sure it does fit (without buying a million of them)? It’s called a "Sewhandy" and from the Singer brand. It is also very small and looks like it was meant mostly for small jobs.
–Thankyou
If the machine is like this one – http://cgi.ebay.com/3-NEEDLES+MANUALS-Singer-20-Toy-Child-Sewing-Machine_W0QQitemZ400056692263QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090619?IMSfp=TL090619179001r20184
It takes style 24×1 needles and the only ones I found are either on a Chinese website or this site on Ebay – http://cgi.ebay.com/10-NEEDLES-MORE-Singer-20-Toy-Child-Sewing-Machine_W0QQitemZ400057304465QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5d25460591&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
Maybe someone in the family will help you buy a new machine, for which accessories are easy to find.

Wal-mart, fabric stores, stores that sell sewing machines…
…but the department store would probably be the cheapest.

JoAnns would be the best bet – just make sure to look for Singer needles.

Guy Baker has some 24×1 needles: http://sewingmachineparts.net/pricelist.html
I believe this is the same needle as DHx1 and SY1111, so you might also talk to a local Singer repair shop/dealer.

(fwiw, I’d expect to pay about $25-30/100 for Organ needles, which are quite good and a well respected brand)
Also, here are some prices for some 20s: http://www.patented-antiques.com/Backpages/SewBkpg/singer_20-10s.htm
