the needle after step
i
.
Note
• Some needles cannot be threaded with the
needle threader. In this case, instead of
using the needle threader after passing the
thread through the needle bar thread guide
(marked “6”), manually pass the thread
through the eye of the needle from the front.
CAUTION
• Twin needle (part code XE4963-001) is
recommended for this machine. Contact your
authorized Brother dealer for replacement
needles (size 2.0/11 is recommended).
• Be sure to set the twin needle mode when
using the twin needle. Using the twin needle
while the machine is in single needle mode
could cause the needle to break, resulting in
damage.
• Do not sew with bent needles. The needle
could break and cause injury.
• When using the twin needle, it is
recommended to use presser foot “J”.
• When the twin needle is used, bunched
stitches may occur depending on the types of
fabric and thread that are used.
Use monogramming foot “N” for decorative
stitches.
• Before changing the needle or threading the
machine, be sure to press on the LCD
Screen to lock all keys and buttons, otherwise
injuries may occur if the “Start/Stop” button
or any other button is pressed and the machine
starts sewing.
