loosen. Remove the needle from the clamp.
2
Insert the new needle into the clamp with the flat side
to the back, pushing it up as far as it will go against the
stopper pin 3 . Tighten the clamp screw firmly.
Always purchase good quality needles. Change needle
often. Never use a bent or broken needle as it may cause
skipped stitches or thread breakage. Defective needles
can ruin the fabric. To determine if the needle is
defective, place the flat side of the needle on something
flat (a needle plate, piece of glass, etc.). The gap
between the needle and the flat surface should be even.
