* In general, fine threads and needles are used for

sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and

needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics.

* Always test thread and needle size on a small

piece of fabric which will be used for actual

sewing.

* Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.

* When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and

synthetics,use a BLUE TIPPED needle.

The blue tipped needle effectively prevents

skipped stitches.

Changing Needle

Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward

you and lower the presser foot.

z Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it

counterclockwise.

Remove the needle from the clamp.

x 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.
