Changing the Needle
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the power switch before changing the
needle.
Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the
handwheel counterclockwise, 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 at
side to the rear. When inserting the needle into the
needle clamp, push it up as far as it will go.

To see if the needle is in good condition, place the at
side of the needle onto something at (needle plate, glass
etc.). The gap between the needle and the at surface
should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt needle.
A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs
in knits, ne silks and silk-like fabrics.

Fabric and Needle Chart
• For general sewing, use needle size 11/75 or 14/90.
• A ne 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.
• Always test the needle size on a small scrap of the
fabric that will be used for actual sewing.
• In general, use the same thread for the needle and
bobbin.
NOTE:
3 x #14/90 needles are included in the envelop.
(Part No. 639804000).
NOTE:
When sewing stretch fabrics, very ne fabrics and
synthetics, use a blue tip needle (Part No. 990311000,
sold separately). The blue tip needle effectively
prevents skipped stitches.
