NEEDLE, THREAD AND FABRIC CHART
Your fabric will determine the choice of a needle and thread. The following table is a practical guide to needle and thread
selection.
Always refer to it before a new sewing project. And be sure to use the same size and type of thread in the bobbin as in the
top thread supply.

1. Raise the needle bar to its highest position by turning the hand wheel
toward you.
2. Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it toward you.
3. Remove the needle by pulling it downward.
4. Insert the new needle into the needle clamp with the flat side toward the
back.
5. Push the needle up as far as it can go.
6. Tighten the needle clamp screw with the screw driver.
NOTE: Tighten snugly, but do not over tighten.
Helpful Hint: Placing a scrap of fabric under the
presser foot and lowering the presser foot makes it
easier to cange the needle and will preclude
dropping the needle into the needle plate slot.
Always disconnect the machine from power
supply by removing the plug from the
wall-outlet.
