4. With the scarf (small ground-out section/dip on the back side of the needle just above the needle
eye) facing toward the back hand-wheel side of the machine, push the needle all the way up into the
needlebar, until it can go no farther.
5. Carefully tighten the needle bar clamp screw
until the needle is securely fastened into the
machine. If necessary use the 2.5mm hex tool
to secure the needle; however take care not
to over tighten the screw. This may result in
damaged or stripped threads in the needle
clamp. Damage to the needle clamp may also
make it difficult to fully insert the needle, which
will change the machine timing causing more
issues. Stripped threads and damage caused by
improper needle installation or tightening are
not covered under warranty.

NOTE : It is recommended to use a new needle for each new quilt. Also, replace the needle any
time it becomes bent, dull or burred.
Â
IMPORTANT : Check the needle to confirm it is fully inserted. The needle bar has a stop/sight hole
above the needle bar clamp screw. Make sure the needle is touching the top of the stop/sight hole.
If it is not, the machine timing will be off and it may be possible for the needle to collide with internal
parts, causing damage not covered by warranty.
U
CAUTION: Your Platinum Q|165 machine stitches at a much faster speed than your home sewing
machine, therefore, it is essential that the needle is seated into the needle bar and fully tightened
(but not over tightened). Check often that the needle has not become loose. If the needle comes
loose, it could break in the machine causing damage, alter the machine’s timing, or cause
bodily harm.
