3 START SEWING Inserting and Changing Needles ⚠ Turn the machine off before changing the needle. Change the needle regularly, especially if it is showing signs of wear resulting in sewing problems. Needles can show signs of wear when you see snags in the fabric or hear a slight popping sound as you are sewing. If the needle becomes bent (A), the point becomes damaged (B) or the needle becomes dull (C), you should replace it with a new needle and discard the old one. Generally, the needle should be replaced after every 4 projects or approximately every 16 hours of sewing time. It is also important to use the right needle for the fabric you are sewing.
