Changing Needle

Turn 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 by turning it

counterclockwise.

Remove the needle from the needle clamp.

Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with

the flat side to the rear. When inserting the

needle into the needle clamp, push it up as far as

it goes.

Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly by turning

it clockwise.

Flat side

To check if a needle is bent, 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.

For general sewing use needle size 11 or 14. A fine

thread and needle should be used for sewing lightweight

fabrics so the fabric will not be marred. Heavy fabrics

require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without

fraying the needle thread.

Use a blue needle to eliminate skipped stitches when

sewing knits and synthetic fabrics.
