NEEDLES AND THREAD

Never use a bent needle, nor one with a blunt point, since this
causes imperfect stitches and may cause the needle to break.
Unless the needle is in all the way, flat side to the right, the ma-
chine will not function correctly, and you will not get good results.
The size of the needle should conform to the size of the thread,
and both should be suitable for the material being sewn. In most
applications, use the same thread top and bottom, and always use
good quality thread and needles.
