Changing the Needle

CAUTION:

Turn OFF the power switch before changing the

needle.

Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the

handwheel counterclockwise.

A loose needle or a loose screw may cause machine

malfunction or needle to break.

Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it

counterclockwise. Remove the needle from the needle

clamp.

Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with the flat

side to the rear. When inserting the needle into the

needle clamp, push it up as far as it will go.

Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly by turning it

clockwise.

Needle clamp screw

Flat side

To see if the needle is in good condition, place the flat

side of the needle onto something flat (needle plate, glass

etc.). The gap between the needle and the flat surface

should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt needle.

A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs

in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics.

Fabric, Thread and Needle Chart

• 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 not be marred.

• Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to

pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.

• Always test the needle size on a small scrap of the

fabric that will be used for actual sewing.

• In general, use the same thread for the needle and

bobbin.

• When sewing stretch fabrics, very fine fabrics and

synthetics, use a blue tip needle. The blue tip needle

effectively prevents skipped stitches.

NOTE:

1 x blue tip needle (#11/75), 2 x #11/75 needles and 2

x #14/90 needles are included in the needle case (Part

No. 540401026).
