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
needle is in its highest position. It is also recommended that
you lower the presser foot.
1. 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).
2. Place the thread from the back over the thread guide (C)
and under the small hook (D).
3. Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook pulls
the thread through the needle eye and forms a loop behind
the needle. Pull the thread loop out behind the needle.
4. Raise the presser foot and place the thread under it.
5. Pull out about 6–8" (15–20cm) of thread beyond the need-
le eye. This will prevent the machine from coming unthrea-
ded when you start to sew.
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 75-100 needles.
You cannot use the needle threader for size 70 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 ma-
nually, 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 synthetic leathers.
Denim Needle
Denim needles have a sharp point to penetrate tightly woven fabrics without deflecting the needle. For
canvas, denim and microfibers.
Note: To avoid needle breakage, use only medium/low speed and the recommended needle on thick fabrics works.
