4.  Remove the needle by pulling straight down.  Once the needle is 

free from the machine, discard it.  Do not reuse old needles.

5.  Insert a new needle into the machine with the flat side of the 

needle away from you and toward the back of the machine.  Push 
the needle up as far as it will go.  Tighten the screw as tight as you 
can (clockwise).

  NOTE:  Use only Embroidery needles.  These are made for the high speeds of embroidery 

machines.  Use sharp point needles for woven fabrics and ball point needles for knit fabrics.

  TIP:  Titanium needles will last much longer than standard steel needles which make them a 

good value.

Thread Breaks

In the event of a thread break, the machine will stop.  When the 

machine stops, you may have to push the START/STOP key to see 
which error has occurred.  Check the needle to see if the thread is 
broken.  If the thread is not broken at the needle, the thread has 
either gotten out of one of the guides or is caught on something.  If 
the thread is broken, re-thread the machine and the needle.

Using the left arrow key 

 on the key pad, you can back up through 

the design until you reach the point at which the thread broke.  By 
pressing the 

 key, it will start backing up 1 stitch at a time.  If 

you need to back up quite a bit hold the button down, it will then 
start backing up in larger increments.  If you only need to back up 
a few stitches, press the 

 key and then lift your finger and press 

it again.  This will allow you to keep backing up 1 stitch at a time.  
Press the START/STOP key to restart the embroidery.  Remember 
to hold on to the thread to keep the thread taut until five or six
