Changing Needles
Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward
you and lower the presser foot.
z Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it
counterclockwise.
Remove the needle from the clamp.
x Insert the new needle into the clamp with the
flat side away from you.
When inserting the needle into the clamp, push
it up as far as it will go and tighten the clamp
screw firmly with the screwdriver.
To check the needle
Place the flat side of the needle on something flat
(needle plate, glass etc.). The clearance between the
needle and flat surface should be consistent. Never
use a bent or blunt needle.
Fabric 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.
NOTE:
When sewing stretch fabrics, very fine fabrics
and synthetics, use a blue tip needle (Part
No. 990311000, sold separately). The blue tip
needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
