NEEDLES

The sewing machine needle plays an important role in
successful sewing. To ensure you will get a quality needle, we
recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package
included with your machine contains needles of the most
frequently used sizes for sewing on woven and stretch fabrics.
Universal needle (A)
Universal needles have a slightly rounded point and come in a
variety of sizes. For general sewing in a variety of fabric types
and weights.
Stretch needle (B)
Stretch needles have a special scarf to eliminate skipped
stitches when there is a flex in the fabric. For knits, swimwear,
fleece, synthetic suedes and leathers. Marked with a yellow
band.
Tip: Read more about different needles in the HUSQVARNA
VIKING Accessory User's Guide at www.husqvarnaviking.com.
Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight needle with a sharp
point (1). A damaged needle (2) can cause skipped stitches, breakage of
needles or snapping of thread. A damaged needle can also damage the
stitch plate.
