Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight needle with a sharp
point (D).
A damaged needle (E) can cause skipped stitches, breakage or snapping
of thread. A damaged needle can also damage the needle plate.
Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (F) since they may damage your
sewing machine.
