Changing Needle
Raise the needle by turning the handwheel
toward you and lower the presser foot.
Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it
counterclockwise.
Remove the needle from the clamp.
Insert the new needle into the clamp with the flat
side away from you.
When inserting the needle into the clamp, push
it up as far as it will go and tighten the clamp
screw firmly with the screwdriver.

* Check your needles frequently for barbed or

blunted points. Snags and runs in knits, fine
silks and silk-like fabrics are permanent and
are almost always caused by a damaged
needle.

To check the Needle

Place the flat side of the needle on something flat
(needle plate, glass etc.). The clearance between
the needle and flat surface should be consistent.
Never use a bent or blunt needle.
