CAUTION • If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch) thick is sewn or if the fabric is pushed with too much force, the needle may bend or break. Sewing hook-and-loop fastener tape CAUTION • Use only the ungummed hook-and-loop fastener tape which is for sewing. If the glue is attached to the needle or the bobbin hook race, it may cause malfunction. • If the hook-and-loop fastener tape is sewn with the thin needle (65/9 - 75/11), the needle may bend or break.
