NEEDLES AND THREAD
For perfect stitching, thread should be selected
according to fabric to be stitched and needle
must be correct size for thread which must
pass freely through eye of needle.
TO SET THE NEEDLE
Select correct needle according to table on
page 70. Be sure that needle is not blunt or
bent. Raise needle bar to its highest position
and loosen thumb screw H in needle clamp.
Push needle with its flat side to left up into
needle clamp as far as it will go, then tighten
thumb screw. As the needle is self-setting, it
cannot be inserted incorrectly in the needle
clamp.
