NEEDLE THREADER

USING THE NEEDLE THREADER
There are a wide variety of different needles and sewing machine threads available. The right ones should be
selected in accordance with the sewing conditions. The accessory needle threader is designed to make threading of
needles easier, but it cannot handle every single circumstance of use (combinations of needle and thread) that
may occur. It can be used with some combinations but not with others, and if it can be used, the pattern may not
be sewn correctly due to the particular sewing conditions. Do not used the needle threader without gaining a
thorough understanding of how to use it, otherwise the needle threader may be damaged or needle threading
may not be possible. Be sure to read and understand the following so that you can handle customer complaints.
<Notes>
1. Needle threader can only be used with circled needle and thread combinations on following chart. Do not use
those combinations marked with an "X" when using needle threader.
2. Needle and thread combinations marked with an * on the following chart can be used, but are not
recommended because they could lead to imperfect performance and possibly even breakage of needle
threader itself.
3. Lower presser foot when using needle threader.
4. Nylon transparent thread can be used with #14-16 sewing machine needles regardless of what is listed on
chart below.
5. Do not turn the balance wheel when using needle threader.
6. Do not lower needle threader lever when operating sewing machine. Doing so could break the needle
threader rendering it unusable, or result in needle breakage and possible injury.
7. If a #9 needle is used with the needle threader, the variation in needle precision may result in the needle
being slightly difficult to thread.
8. When using needle threader, tip of needle should be raised at least 10mm above top surface of needle plate
or threading might not occur.
9. Use a #11 needle when doing embroidery.
