Note) • Set the needle so that the notched part will come on the rotary hook side. • The needle eye should not be angled to the left (when viewed from the front). Selecting needle • When using special threads such as gold, silver, and rame yarn, use a heavy-duty needle (#11 ~ #16). For better finish, paste the waxed paper on the back of the material. • In general, use DBxK5 #11 ~ #18 according to the material thickness. For knitted materials, use DBxK23 #11 because its rounded point prevents the knit thread from breaking. BES-916AC • BES-1216AC 27
