● The Needle - Choose the needle based on the type of fabric you are using. The
standard needle will be size 130/705H, size 90 (blue) (see Charts on pp. 25-26 in the
manual to choose the correct size needle for the material and stitch you want to use). If
using two needles, make sure they are the same size.
● To change the needle (see pp. 5-6 in manual for diagrams)
Removing the needle(s):
1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF position
2. Turn the hand wheel counter-clockwise by hand until the needle is in the highest
position
3. Loosen the needle set screw with hexagonal wrench (counter-clockwise) and
remove the needle(s)
4. Flat side faces back of machine; curved side faces front of machine
Inserting the needle(s):
1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF position
2. Turn the hand wheel counter-clockwise by hand until the needle is in the highest
position
3. Hold needle with flat side facing the machine and insert it as far as it will go.
4. Tighten the needle set screw securely (clockwise) with the hexagonal wrench.
Notes on needles:
1. If replacing both needles, hold the two needles with one hand and insert them
both at the same time.
2. If needles are inserted correctly, the right needle will be set slightly lower than the
left one.
3. The needle set screw holds both needles so both will come out when you loosen
the screw.
4. To check needle to see if it's bent, place flat side of needle onto flat surface and
check that the gap between needle and surface is consistent along the whole
length of the needle.
5. If needle is bent or broken, discard and put new needle in machine.
6. Never use a blunt needle.
