Use the ball point needle when sewing on stretch
fabrics or fabrics where skipped stitches easily
occur.

sewing patterns using monogramming foot “N”.
The factory recommended needle is “HG-4BR

130/705H SUK 90/14 may be used as a substitute.
Transparent nylon thread
Use a 90/14 to 100/16 needle, regardless of the
fabric or thread.
Checking the needle
Sewing with a bent needle is extremely dangerous
since the needle may break while the machine is
being operated.
Before using the needle, place the flat side of the
needle on a flat surface and check that the distance
between the needle and the flat surface is even.

addition, the stitching may be uneven or
puckered or there may be skipped stitches.
