[2] 1. Hold the knob [2] and attach the bobbin
case securely.
2. Close the rotary hook cover [1].
! ! ! ! Removing needle
Loosen the set screw [1] and remove the
needle [2].
! ! ! ! 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 [1]
firmly.
Note) • Set the needle so that the notched
part will come on the rotary hook side.
• The needle eye 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 DB x K5 #11 ~ #18
according to the material thickness. For
knitted materials, use DB x K23 #11
because its rounded point prevents the
knit thread from breaking.
