4-3 Replacing and Selecting Needle
Removing needle
Loosen the set screw q and remove the needle
q.
Attaching needle
With the flat side facing the front, insert the
needle all the way until it meets the end of the
needle bar. Tighten the set screw q firmly.
Note) Set the needle so that the notched part will
come on the rotary hook side.
The needle should not be angled to the left
(when viewed from the front).
Selecting needle
When using special threads such as gold,
silver, and rame yarn, use a heavy-duty
needle (#11 ~ #16). For better finish, paste
the waxed paper on the back of the
material.
In general, use DBxK5 #11 ~ #18 according
to the material thickness. For knitted
materials, use DBxK23 #11 because its
rounded point prevents the knit thread from
breaking.
