Preparations Needles The sewing machine needle plays an important role in successful sewing. Use only quality needles. We recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package included with your machine contains needles of the most frequently used sizes. Universal needle Universal needles have a slightly rounded point and come in a variety of sizes. For general sewing in a variety of fabric types and weights. Stretch needle Stretch needles have a special scarf to eliminate skipped stitches when there is a flex in the fabric. For knits, swimwear, fleece, synthetic suedes and leathers. Marked with a yellow band. Denim needle Denim needles have a sharp point to penetrate tightly woven fabrics without deflecting the needle. For canvas, denim, microfibers. Marked with a blue band Note: Change the needle often. Always use a straight needle with a sharp point (A). A damaged needle (B) can cause skipped stitches, breakage or snapping of the thread. It can also damage the stitch plate. Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (C), they can damage your sewing machine. Changing the needle 1. Use the hole in the multi-purpose tool to hold the needle. 2. Loosen the needle screw. Use the screwdriver if necessary. 3. Remove the needle. 4. Insert the new needle, using the multi-purpose tool. Push the new needle upwards with the flat side away from you until it will go no further. 5. Tighten the needle screw as tight as it will go. 19
