8. Check the position of the hook point relative to
the needle.
9. Check the distance between the needle and the
hook point.
 IMPORTANT: The hook point should lightly
touch, or brush, the needle inside the needle
scarf. Too much needle distance or improper
loop lift settings may cause shredding and
skipped stitches. Too little distance will cause
the needle to bend during sewing and cause
other issues.
Adjust if necessary
If correction of loop lift or needle distance is
necessary, then the bobbin-case basket must first be
rotated down.
 NOTE: With the bobbin case basket in the
normal position, the basket needle guard
may deflect the needle and makes it difficult
to accurately adjust the needle distance
between the hook point and the back of the
needle scarf. It is important that the basket
needle guard be rotated down out of the way
to allow correct adjustment of the needle
distance setting.
