The Infinity uses the MR needle system. Note that the needle has a
round shank rather than a shank with a flat side like home sewing
machines use.
If you use the recommended needle, you will experience:
• Fewer skipped stitches
• Less needle breakage
• Less thread breakage, especially at high speeds
• Less thread splicing or shredding
• Optimum fabric protection
Â
IMPORTANT
: Change the needle regularly. We recommend you use a new needle for each new quilt
loaded on the machine, and any time the needle becomes bent, dull, or burred.
U
CAUTION
: A damaged needle may result in poor stitching quality or may even damage the machine
or your quilt.
