Changing Needles

Tu rn ON the power switch. Press the Up/Down

needle key q to raise the needle. Lower the presser

foot. Turn OFF the power switch.

Tu rn the needle clamp screw w counterclockwise to

loosen. Remove the needle from the clamp.

Insert the new needle into needle clamp with the flat

side r to the back, pushing it up against the stopper

pin e. Tighten the clamp screw firmly.

To determine if the needle is defective, place the flat

side of the needle on something flat (a needle plate,

piece of glass, etc.). The gap t between the needle

and the flat surface should be consistent.

Never use a bent or blunt needle, as it may cause

skipped stitches or thread breakage. Defective

needles can ruin the fabric. Always purchase good

quality needles. Change needles often.

Selecting the Correct Needle for Fabrics

There are many kinds of fabrics, threads and

needles. It is important to use the correct ones

together.

Always purchase good quality thread. It should be

strong, smooth and even in thickness. Use the

same thread for needle and bobbin. Always test

thread and needle size on a scrap piece of fabric.

In general, fine threads (the larger the number, the

finer the thread) and needles (the smaller the

number, the finer the needle) are used for sewing

lightweight fabrics and heavier threads and larger

needles are used for sewing heavyweight fabrics.

There are many specialty needles available from

your sewing machine dealer.

Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt

tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silklike

fabrics are permanent and are often caused

by damaged needles.
