Needles
•
The quality and type of needles used can greatly affect the operation of the machine, and nee-
dles which have burrs, worn tips, or that are bent should not be used.
Needle Orientation
Embroidery needles have a front and a backside. The needle must be installed correctly or the
sewing quality will suffer. The front of the needle has a long groove, while the back has an in-
dented scarf. With the long groove facing forward and the scarf facing back, slide the needle up
and into the needle bar as far as it will go.
It is recommended that the eye of the needle be tilted 5° to the right; however a range of nee-
dle orientation is acceptable.
