Changing Needle
Turn off the power switch.
Raise the needle to its highest position by turning
the handwheel counterclockwise, toward you, and
lower the presser foot.
Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it
counterclockwise.
Remove the needle from the needle clamp.
Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with
the flat side to the rear. When inserting the
needle into the needle clamp, push it up as far as
it goes.
1
Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly by turning
it clockwise.
To check if a needle is bent, place the flat side of
the needle onto something flat (e.g needle plate
or glass). The gap between the needle and the
flat surface should be consistent. Never use a
bent or blunt needle.
A damaged needle can cause permanent snags
or runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics.
Selecting Needle and Thread

Weight
For general sewing use needle size 11 or 14. A fine
thread and needle should be used for sewing lightweight
fabrics so the fabric will not be marred. Heavy fabrics
require a needle large enough to pierce the fabric without
fraying the needle thread.
Use a blue needle to eliminate skipped stitches when
sewing knits and synthetic fabrics.
