Needles
The sewing machine needle plays an important
role in successful sewing. Use only quality needles.
We recommend needles of system 130/705H.
The needle package included with your machine
contains needles of the most frequently used sizes.
Universal needle (B)
Universal Needles have a slightly rounded point
and come in a variety of sizes. For general sewing
in a variety of fabric types and weights.
Stretch needle (C)
Stretch Needles have a special scarf to eliminate
skipped stitches when there is a Á ex in the fabric.
For knits, swimwear, Á eece, synthetic suedes and
leathers. Marked with a yellow band.
Embroidery needle (D)
Embroidery Needles have a special scarf, a slightly
rounded point and a slightly larger eye to avoid
damage to thread and materials. Use with metallic
and other specialty threads for embroidery and
decorative sewing. Marked with a red band.
Denim needle (E)
Denim needles have a sharp point to penetrate
tightly woven fabrics without deÁ ecting the needle.
For canvas, denim, microÀ bers. Marked with a blue
band.
Wing needles (F)
The Wing Needle has wide wings on the side of
the needle to poke holes in the fabric when sewing
entredeux and other hemstitches on natural À ber
fabrics. Decrease the stitch width for best results.
Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight
needle with a sharp point (G).
A damaged needle (H) can cause skipped stitches,
breakage or snapping of the thread. A damaged needle
can also damage the stitch plate.
Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (I), since it may
damage your sewing machine.
