TIP: Use the old needle to hold the new needle in place while you tighten the screw.
By placing the point of the old needle into the eye of the new needle you can see how
straight you are placing the scarf of the needle.
How Do I Change the Needle?
A 134RSAN needle (size 18) will be installed on your Grand Quilter 18.8 from the factory. When it is time to
replace the needle you can easily install one. Be sure the power switch is off on the machine. Remove the
bobbin case.
To remove the needle use the smaller teal colored screwdriver included with your
machine. Loosen the screw just above the thread guide on the needle bar; the
needle should fall out as you loosen the screw.
Look closely at the needle. Your home sewing machine needle shank (top of the
needle) has a flat side. The top of the long arm machine needle is round. On the
point end of the needle there is a scarf, or notch, in one side. The scarf must
face the back of your machine. The long groove at the eye of the needle
faces you as you insert the needle.
Why does the scarf go to the back of the machine?
When the needle goes down through the fabric into the bobbin case, the hook
comes around behind the needle to pick up the thread. The scarf has to be there
to provide a way for the hook to get between the needle and the thread in order to pick up the thread.
Place the new needle up in the slot, making sure the needle is up in the needle bar as far up as it will go. Make
sure the scarf is facing the back of your machine. Tighten the screw on the needle bar while holding the needle
up.
Before you turn your
machine on go to the
back of the machine
and turn the hand
wheel a complete turn making sure the needle goes down in the center of the throat plate and the hook in the
bobbin area rotates with the needle smoothly. Put the needle down as far as possible. In the bobbin area, you
should be able to see you the eye of the needle. When the hook rotates it picks up the thread at the back of the
needle then the top thread pulls the bobbin thread up to create a stitch. The scarf must face the back of your
machine.
