Topstitching – the extra sharp tip penetrates layers
of fabrics; extra large eye and large groove
accommodate heavyweight topstitching thread.
Machine embroidery – specially suited for rayon,
acrylic or other high-sheen threads used in machine
embroidery. Two common sizes: 75/11 (suitable for
most projects) and 90/14 (recommended for multi-
layered projects).
Twin/Double – 2 needles are joined on a crossbar
and share a single shaft. Sews two parallel rows of
stitching. Available in universal and ballpoint.
Hemstitch/Wing – wider than a universal needle, it
separates fibers and creates holes for beautiful
heirloom stitches.
Changing Needles

Turn the needle clamp screw
A
counterclockwise to loosen. Remove the needle
from the clamp.
2.
Insert the new needle into needle clamp
B
with
flat side to the back. When inserting the needle
into the clamp, push it up as far as it will go and
tighten the needle clamp screw firmly.
CAUTION: If needle is not pushed up as far as
it will go, the automatic needle threader will
not function properly.
3.
To determine if the needle is defective, place
the flat side of the needle on something flat (a
needle plate, glass, etc.). The gap between the
needle and flat surface should be consistent.
Never use a bent or blunt needle as it may cause
skipped stitches or thread breakage. Defective
needles can ruin fabric. Always purchase good
quality needles. Change needles often.
