Changing the Needles
WARNING: Turn OFF the power switch and unplug the
machine.
Loosen the needle cramp screw and pull out the
needle.
Insert a new needle into the needle cramp with the flat
side facing back.
Push the needle up against the stopper pin and
tighten the needle cramp screw firmly.

Stopper pin
Flat side
To check the needle:
Place the flat side of the needle onto something flat
(needle plate, glass etc).
The clearance between the needle and the flat surface
should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt needle.
CAUTION: A damaged needle can cause permanent
snags or runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like
fabrics.

*
For general sewing, use needle size #11/75 or #14/90.
*
A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will no be marred. Heavy
fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.
*
Always test the thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric, which will be used for actual sewing.
*
In general, use same thread for needle and bobbin.
*
When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a BLUE TIPPED needle. The blue tipped needle
effectively prevents skipped stitches.
