Changing The Needle - Baby Lock SOLARIS VISION BLSA3 Instruction And Reference Manual

CHANGING THE NEEDLE

CAUTION
• Always touch
keys and buttons before changing the needle.
If is not touched and the "Start/Stop"
button or another operation button is pressed
accidentally, the machine will start and injury
may result.
• Use only home sewing machine needles made
for home use. Other needles may break and
may cause injury.
• Never embroider with a bent needle. This may
cause injury.
It is recommended to use a 75/11 home sewing
machine needle. However, if the machine cannot
make embroidery very well when embroidering on
heavy weight fabric, please try a 90/14 needle.
When embroidering patterns with short stitches,
such as small letters, we recommend using a ball
point needle for embroidery.
Note
• To check the needle correctly, place the flat
side of the needle on a flat surface. Check the
needle from the top and the sides. Throw
away any bent needles.
