Insert a type 130/705H, size 100/16 Wing needle.
* This specialty sewing needle is not furnished with
your machine. It must be purchased separately.

Select a stitch and attach advanced monogramming
foot “N+”.
c
Start sewing.
CAUTION
• Be sure the needle does not strike a basting
pin, or any other objects, during sewing. The
thread could tangle or the needle could break,
causing injury.
Memo
• Use a light to medium weight homespun fabric with
a little stiffness.
• For details on stitch patterns, refer to “STITCH
SETTING CHART” on page 199.
CAUTION
• A more attractive finish can be obtained if you
use a “130/705H Wing” needle when sewing
these stitch patterns. If using a wing needle
and the stitch width has been set manually,
check that the needle will not touch the
presser foot by carefully rotating the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise)
before starting to sew.
• When sewing with the wing needle, select a
stitch width of 6.0 mm (approx. 15/64 inch) or
less, otherwise the needle may bend or break.
