Needle position
The 4874 offers a choice of 5 needle 
positions. You can sew with as many as 
3 needles simultaneously. The needle 
positions are L0, L1, L2, R1 and R2. A 
retaining screw is provided above each 
needle.
In this operator’s manual and in the LCD 
display (9) (see page 3-2), the different 
needle positions are shown in a schematic 
diagram. See the examples at top and 
bottom. Insert the needle(s) as shown in 
the LCD display (9) (see page 3-2).
Note: If the needles are 
inserted at R2 and R1, the left 
needle is slightly higher than 
the right.
If the needles are inserted at L1 and L2, the 
left needle is slightly lower than the right.
If the needles are inserted at L0 and L2, the 
left needle is also lower than the right.
If the needles are inserted at L0, L1 and L2, 
the left needle is at the lowest point.
