Selecting the proper needle for use with the fabric and thread you are working with
The following chart applies to many different fabric, thread and needle combinations.
HLX5 needles are recommended; however, Schmetz 130/705H needles may
also be used under normal sewing conditions.
Adjust the pressure adjustment dial and the feed dog adjustment knob accord-
ing to the chart on the sewing machine.
When sewing on knit fabrics such as jersey or tricot, use a ballpoint needle or
a needle designed for use with knit fabrics.
For best results when using metallic threads, sew with a good quality thread,
set upper tension on 2, and use metallic needle.
