 Sewing Hook-and-Loop Fastener
Tape
Make sure that the needle passes through the
hook-and-loop fastener tape by rotating the
handwheel and lowering the needle into the hook-
and-loop fastener tape before sewing. Sew the
edge of the hook-and-loop fastener tape at a slow
speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-
loop fastener tape, replace the needle size with the
needle for thick fabrics. (page 34)
a Edge of the hook-and-loop fastener tape
Check the table below for the proper fabric/
needle/thread combinations.
CAUTION
• If non-adhesive hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn
with a fine needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may break
and cause injury.
IMPORTANT
• Adhesive backed hook-and-loop fastener tape is not
designed for sewing. When glue adheres to the needle
or the bobbin hook race, it may cause malfunction.
Note
• Before starting to sew, baste the fabric and
hook-and-loop fastener tape together.

Fabric When sewing on stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics,
or fabrics with coarse weaves, attach stabilizer on

so, place the fabric on a thin paper such as tracing
paper.
