Yes, the needlebar in a needlebar is opposite to the 99 that is to say that in a 201 the needle is opposite direction i.e. it is flat towards left. left.
It’s possible to complicate things when we consider that some needlebars have slots that are facing towards the forward (towards the sewing machine as you sew) however, they did not appear only after the mold had set in and Singer began making newer machines So I’ll keep it straightforward and don’t mention them.
