REPLACING THE NEEDLE
This section provides information on sewing machine needles.
Needle precautions
Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the handling of the needle. Failure to observe these
precautions is extremely dangerous. Be sure to read and carefully follow the instructions below.
Selecting the needle depending on the thread and fabric types
The sewing machine needle that should be used depends on the fabric and thread thickness. Refer to the
following table when choosing the thread and needle appropriate for the fabric that you wish to sew.
Use the same size thread for the upper (spool) and lower (bobbin) threads.
Memo
●The smaller the thread number, the thicker the thread; and the larger the needle number, the thicker the
needle.
●Use the ball point needle when sewing on stretch fabrics or fabrics where skipped stitches easily occur.
●Use a 90/14 to 100/16 needle with transparent nylon threads, regardless of the fabric being sewn.
●Only use home sewing machine needles. Use of any other needle may bend the needle or damage the
machine.
●Never use bent needles. Bent needles can easily break, possibly resulting in injury.

since the needle may break while the machine is
being operated.
Before using the needle, place the flat side of the
needle on a flat surface and check that the distance
between the needle and the flat surface is even.
aFlat side
bNeedle type marking
■Correct needle
aFlat surface
■Incorrect needle
If the distance between the needle and the flat
surface is not even, the needle is bent. Do not use
a bent needle.

●The appropriate fabric, thread and needle
combinations are shown in the table on the
previous page. If the combination of the
fabric, thread and needle is not correct,
particularly when sewing thick fabrics (such
as denim) with thin needles (such as 65/9 to
75/11), the needle may bend or break. In
addition, the stitching may be uneven or
puckered or there may be skipped stitches.

General sewing procedure
Follow the basic procedures below to sew.
●While the machine is in operation, pay special attention to the needle location. In addition, keep your
hands away from all moving parts such as the needle and handwheel, otherwise injuries may occur.
●Do not pull or push the fabric too hard while sewing, otherwise injuries may occur or the needle may
break.
●Never use bent needles. Bent needles can easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.
●Make sure that the needle does not strike basting pins, otherwise the needle may break or bend.

USEFUL SEWING TIPS
Various ways to achieve better results for your sewing projects are described below. Refer to these tips when
sewing your project.
Trial sewing
A trial piece of fabric should be sewn since, depending
on the type of fabric and stitching being sewn, the
desired results may not be achieved.
For the trial sewing, use a piece of fabric and thread
that are the same as those used for your project, and
check the thread tension and stitch length and width.
Since the results differ depending on the type of
stitching and the number of layers of fabric sewn,
perform the trial sewing under the same conditions
that will be used with your project.
Changing the sewing
direction
aWhen the stitching reaches a corner, stop the
sewing machine.
Leave the needle lowered (in the fabric). If the
needle was raised, lower the needle by turning
the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise).
bRaise the presser foot lever, and then turn the
fabric.
Turn the fabric using the needle as a pivot.
cLower the presser foot lever and continue
sewing.
Sewing curves
Stop sewing, and then slightly change the sewing
direction to sew around the curve.
When sewing along a curve while using a zigzag
stitch, select a shorter stitch length in order to obtain
a finer stitch.
Sewing thick fabrics
■If the fabric does not fit under the presser foot
If the fabric does not fit easily under the presser
foot, raise the presser foot lever even higher to
bring the presser foot to its highest position.
●When using the twin needle, be sure to raise
the needle before changing the sewing
direction. If the fabric is turned while the
needle is lowered, the needle may bend or
break.
CAUTION
●If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inches) thick
is sewn or if the fabric is pushed with too
much force, the needle may bend or break.
CAUTION
26
2
Sewing thin fabrics
When sewing thin fabrics, the stitching may become
misaligned or the fabric may not feed correctly. If
this occurs, place thin paper or stabilizer material
under the fabric and sew it together with the fabric.
When you have finished sewing, tear off any excess
paper.
a Stabilizer material or paper
Sewing stretch fabrics
First, baste the pieces of fabric together, and then
sew without stretching the fabric.
a Basting
Using a free-arm style
Free-arm sewing is convenient for sewing tubular
and hard-to-reach areas.
To change your machine to the free-arm style, lift the
bottom of the flat bed attachment toward you, and
then pull the flat bed attachment out to remove it.

Bobbin case tension
adjustment
The bobbin thread tension has already been adjusted
at the factory for general use. For most sewing
applications, no adjustment is needed.
When sewing with thin thread on thin fabrics, the
thread tension may not be adjusted adequately with
the upper tension control dial. Therefore, the thread
tension must be adjusted according to the procedure
described below.
Note
●Remember to return the screw to its original
setting before starting your next project.
■Bobbin tension is too loose
Loops appear on the surface of the fabric.
Solution
Reduce the tension by
turning the upper tension-
control dial to a lower
number.
Note
●If the loops still appear on the surface of the
fabric after you adjust the upper tension, the
bobbin thread may be too loose. In this
case, turn the screw clockwise, being
careful not to over-tighten the screw,
approximately 30-45 degrees to increase
bobbin tension. After you adjust the bobbin
thread, adjust the upper thread to match the
bobbin thread.
aScrew
■Bobbin tension is too tight
Loops appear on the wrong side of the fabric.
Solution
Increase the tension by
turning the upper tension-
control dial to a higher
number.
Note
●If the loops still appear on the wrong side of
the fabric after you adjust the upper tension,
the bobbin thread may be too tight. In this
case, turn the screw counterclockwise being
careful not to over-loosen the screw,
approximately 30-45 degrees to decrease
bobbin tension. After you adjust the bobbin
thread, adjust the upper thread to match the
bobbin thread.
aScrew
■Checking the tension of the bobbin thread
If holding the bobbin thread and lightly raising
and lowering it causes the bobbin case to
descend slowly, then the thread tension is
correctly adjusted.
If the bobbin case descends without being
shaken: The bobbin thread is too loose. Refer to
“Note” below “Bobbin tension is too loose” to
increase the bobbin case tension.
If the bobbin case does not descend even after
being shaken: The bobbin thread is too tight.
Refer to “Note” below “Bobbin tension is too
tight” to reduce the bobbin case tension.
