It cannot use #277 (T270) thread It can use a #23 needle, which is right for #138 thread, top and bottom. It can also sew with #207 on top, but only #138 in the bobbin. The hooks in these machines are not made for larger thread. You'll need to move up to a 441 or Adler 205 clone to use #277 thread.
