Needle Threader The built-in needle threader allows you to thread the needle quickly and easily. The needle must be in its highest position to use the built-in needle threader. Turn the hand wheel towards you until the A needle is in its highest position, or press the needle up/down B button. It is also recommended that you lower the presser foot. • Use the handle (A) to pull the needle threader all the way down. The metal flanges cover the needle. A small hook will pass through the needle eye (B). • Place the thread from the back over the thread guide (C) and under the small hook (D). D • Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook pulls C the thread through the needle eye and forms a loop behind the needle. Pull the thread loop out behind the needle. • Raise the presser foot and place the thread under it. • Pull out about 6-8" (15-20cm) of thread beyond the needle eye. This will prevent the machine from coming unthreaded when you start to sew. Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70110 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for size 60 needles or smaller, wing needles or twin needles. There are also some optional accessories that require manual threading of the needle. When threading the needle manually, make sure that the needle is threaded from front to back. 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. Be sure to match the needle to the thread you are using. Heavier threads require a needle with a larger needle eye. If the needle eye is too small for the thread the needle threader may not work properly. 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 ball point and a special scarf to eliminate skipped stitches when there is a flex in the fabric. For knits, swimwear, fleece, synthetic suedes and leathers. Denim Needle Denim needles have a sharp point to penetrate tightly woven fabrics without deflecting the needle. For canvas, denim, microfibers. Embroidery Needle Embroidery needles have a special scarf, a slightly rounded point and a slightly larger eye to avoid damage to thread and materials. Use with metallic and other specialty threads for embroidery and decorative sewing. Wing Needle Wing needles have wide extensions on each side of the needle to poke holes in the fabric when sewing entredeux and other hemstitches on natural fiber fabrics. 14 - Preparations English
