*Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.

Note: *In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and needles are

used for sewing heavy fabrics, Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will

be used for actual sewing.

*When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a STRETCH needle. The STRETCH

needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.

*When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent yarn distortion.

CHANGING THE NEEDLE

1. Turn the balance wheel towards you until the needle is in

its highest position.

2. Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning its top edge

towards you. Remove the needle from the clamp.

3. Place the new needle into the needle clamp with it s flat

side facing away from you. Push the needle up into needle

clamp as far as possible.

4. Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly.

TO SELECT A SUITABLE NEEDLE

of needle is marked on the

stem. The higher the number,

the thicker the needle.
