Attaching needle

With the flat side facing the front, insert the

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.
