Changing the Needle

CAUTION:
Turn OFF the power switch before changing the
needle.
① Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the
handwheel counterclockwise, and lower the presser
foot.
Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it
② counterclockwise. Remove the needle from the needle
clamp.

Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly by turning it
clockwise.
① Needle clamp screw
② Flat side

To see if the needle is in good condition, place the flat

side of the needle onto something flat (needle plate,
glass etc.). The gap between the needle and the flat
surface should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt
needle.
A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs
in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics.

Fabric Thread Needle Fabric and Needle Chart

Lawn • For general sewing, use needle size 11/75 or 14/90.
Georgette Silk #80-100 • A fine thread and needle should be used for sewing
Fine Tricot Cotton #80-100 #9/65-11/75 lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred.
Organza Synthetic #80-100 • Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce
Crepe the fabric without fraying the needle thread.
• Always test the needle size on a small scrap of the
Sheeting
Silk #50 fabric that will be used for actual sewing.
Jersey
Medium Cotton #50-80 #11/75-14/90 • In general, use the same thread for the needle and
Broadcloth

Fleece
Denim NOTE:
Silk #30-50 When sewing stretch fabrics, very fine fabrics and
Heavy Tweed

Adjusting the Needle Thread Tension
Straight stitch balanced tension
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two
① layers of fabric, as illustrated (magnified to show detail).
If you look at the top and bottom of the seam, notice that
the stitches are evenly balanced.
① Needle thread (top thread)
② Bobbin thread (bottom thread)
③ To loosen
④ To tighten
②
When adjusting the needle thread tension, the higher the
number, the tighter the top thread tension.
Results depend on:
③
- stiffness and thickness of the fabric
- number of fabric layers
④
- type of stitch

Tension is too tight

④ ⑤ The bobbin thread shows through on the right side of the
① fabric, and the stitch feels bumpy. Turn the dial to a lower
number to loosen the needle thread tension.
① Needle thread (top thread)
② Bobbin thread (bottom thread)
③ To loosen tension
② ④ Right side (top side) of fabric
⑤ Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric
③

Tension is too loose

⑤ The needle thread shows through on the wrong side of
④ the fabric, and the stitch feels bumpy. Turn the dial to a
① higher number to tighten the needle thread tension.
① Needle thread (top thread)
② Bobbin thread (bottom thread)
③ To tighten tension
④ Right side (top side) of fabric
②
⑤ Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric

17
Zigzag stitch
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric, and the
needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side (bottom
side) of the fabric.
See the illustrations for the correct appearance.
To match this appearance, adjust the needle tension as
necessary.

Balanced tension
① ②
Minimize the amount of needle thread visible on the
wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric without causing
excessive puckering, or causing the bobbin thread to
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric.
Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions.
① Right side (top side) of fabric
② Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric

Tension is too tight

① ②
The corner of each zigzag pulls together on the right side
of the fabric
① Right side (top side) of fabric
② Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric

Tension is too loose

① ②
The corner of each zigzag point pulls together on the
wrong side of the fabric.
① Right side (top side) of fabric
② Wrong side (bottom side) of fabric
