The In nity uses the MR needle system. Note that the needle has a
round shank rather than a shank with a at side like home sewing

If you use the recommended needle, you will experience:
• Fewer skipped s tches
• Less needle breakage
• Less thread breakage, especially at high speeds
• Less thread splicing or shredding
• Op mum fabric protec on
 IMPORTANT: Change the needle regularly. We recommend you use a new needle for each new quilt
loaded on the machine, and any me the needle becomes bent, dull, or burred.
U CAUTION: A damaged needle may result in poor s tching quality or may even damage the machine
or your quilt.
