Fabric and Needle Chart
• Use a needle size of 11/75 or 14/90 for general sewing
work.
• A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing light-
weight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred.
• Heavy fabric requires a needle large enough to pierce the
fabric without the needle thread fraying.
• Always test the needle size on a small scrap of the fabric
that will be used for actual sewing.
• In general, use the same thread for the needle and bobbin.
• Use a blue shank needle when sewing flexible fabrics,
very fine fabrics and synthetic fabrics. The blue shank
needle effectively prevents skipped stitches.
PLEASE N OTE :
1 x Twin Needle, 1 x Needle with blue shank (No. 11/75),
2 x Needle No. 11/75 and 1 x Needle No. 14/90 are in the Needle assortment included.
For optimal sewing results, we recommend using Organ needles.
Changing the Needle
Switch off the power switch. Raise the needle to its highest
position by turning the handwheel counterclockwise and
lower the presser foot. Loosen the needle clamp screw
by turning it counterclockwise. Remove the needle from
the needle clamp
.
Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with the flat
side to the rear. When inserting the needle into the needle
clamp
, push it up as far as it goes. Tighten the needle
clamp screw
firmly by turning it clockwise.
To see if the needle is good, place the flat side of the
needle onto something flat (stitch plate, glass, etc.).
The gap between the needle and the flat surface should
be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt needle. A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs in knits,
fine silks and silk-like fabrics.

CAUTION:
Turn OFF the power switch before changing the needle.
