! ! ! ! Selecting needle
• When using special threads such as gold, silver, and rame yarn, use a heavy-duty needle (#11~
#16). For better finish, paste the waxed paper on the back of the material.
• In general, use DB×K5 #11 ~ #18 according to the material thickness. For knitted materials, use
DB×K23 #11 because its rounded point prevents the knit thread from breaking.
! ! ! ! Removing needle
Loosen the set screw [1] and remove the needle [2].
! ! ! ! Attaching needle
With the flat side facing the front, insert the needle all the way until it meets the end of the needle bar.
Tighten the set screw [1] firmly.
• Set the needle so that the notched part will come on the rotary hook side.
• The needle should not be angled to the left (when viewed from the front).
