* In general, fine thread and needles are used

for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and

needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics.

Always test thread and needle size on a small

piece of fabric which will be used for actual

sewing.

* Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.

* When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and

synthetics, use a BLUE TIPPED needle. The

blue tipped needle effectively prevents skipped

stitches.

* When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece

of paper to prevent yarn distortion.

q Needle clamp screw

w Needle clamp

z Tu rn off the power switch.

Raise the needle to its highest position by

turning the handwheel counterclockwise,

toward you, and lowering the presser foot.

Loosen the needle clamp screw q by

turning it counterclockwise. Remove the

needle from the needle clamp w.

x Insert a new needle into the needle clamp

with the flat side to the rear. When inserting

the needle into the needle clamp w, push it

up as far as it goes. Tighten the needle clamp

screw q firmly by turning it clockwise.

c To see if the needle is good, place the flat

side of the needle onto something flat (e.g

needle plate or glass).

The gap between the needle and the flat

surface should be consistent. Never use a

bent or blunt needle.

A damaged needle can cause permanent

snags or runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like

fabrics.
