Needle Types
The type of needle used is determined by the type of fabric being embroidered.
Normal Point Normal point needles pierce, or split, the threads of the fabric without
cutting them. Using normal point needles results in the cleanest
possible stitch.
Ball Point Ball point needles deflect and slip between the threads of the fabric.
Ball point needles are best suited to fine knits and wovens, which have
a tendency to snag or run.
Wedge Point Wedge point needles have a cutting edge to penetrate non-woven
materials. Wedge point needles are used only for leather and similar
materials.
Needle Insertion
When the machine is received, all needles should be in place. However, from time to time, it
may be necessary to change a needle.
Replacing a Needle
1. Turn off the main power to the machine.
2. Make sure the needle bar is at the highest position by verifying that the word “TOP” is
displayed on the screen. If not, rotate the main motor pulley so the needle bar is at the
correct position.
3. Loosen the needle clamp screw located at the bottom of the needle bar and remove the
needle.
4. Insert the new needle as far up as possible. Make sure the groove on the needle is
facing the front of the sewing head. An improperly inserted needle will not only not
sew, but can damage the hook assembly.
5. Tighten the needle clamp screw to secure the needle.
