KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE CAUTION • Use only twin needles that have been made for this machine (part code: 131096-121). Other needles could break, and damage the machine. • Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and injure you. • You cannot use the needle threader to thread the twin needle. Instead, thread the twin needle by hand, from front to back. Using the needle threader may damage the machine. • When using the twin needle, be sure to select an appropriate stitch, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged. • Select a stitch width of 5.0 mm (3/16 inch) or less, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged. 1 Install the twin needle. • For details on installing a needle, refer to "Replacing the needle" (page 21). 2 Thread the upper thread for the left needle. • For details, refer to steps 1 through 9 of "Upper threading" (page 16). 3 Manually thread the left needle with the upper thread. • Pass the thread through the eye of the needle from the front to the back. 4 Insert the extra spool pin onto the end of the bobbin winder shaft. 1 Bobbin winder shaft 2 Extra spool pin 3 Thread spool 5 Install the thread spool and thread the upper thread.
