the needle holder screw by turning it in anticlockwise direction and insert needle as far

It is important that the needle should be pushed right up to the needle stop and firmly

The relation between needle and thread is correct if the thread, when placed in the long

For sewing, the usual needle sizes are 80, 90 and 100, for crosswise darning, use needle
sizes 70 and 80.
