Accessory
box
Needle
and
thread
The
machine
is
delivered
with
a
spooi
of
synthetic
thread,
which
can
be
used
for
all
types
of
fabrics
and
most
stitches.
Mercerized
cotton
can
also
be
used.
As
a
rule
it
is,
however,
slightly
coarser
and
therefore
requires
increased
thread
tension.
Use
a
finer
needle
and
thread
when
sewing
lighter
fabrics.
Embroidery
thread,
which
is
more
loosely
twisted
and
finer,
produces
more
attractive
and
even
stitches
than
ordinary
thread.
It
also
produces
attractive
buttonholes
and
may
even
be
used
for
darning.
When
sewing
with
thread
reels
that
have
a
cardboard
spool
and
large
hole,
e.g.
embroidery
thread,
use
the
cylinder
412
09
78-01,
which
you
find
in
the
accessory
box.
Place
the
cylinder
over
the
thread
reel
pin
that
prevents
the
reel
from
vibrating
against
the
pin.
You
can
produce
a
more
pronounced
seam
in
thicker
fabrics
by
using
a
coarser
needle
and
thread,
e.g.
synthe
tic
buttonhole
thread
or
double
upper
thread.
Metallic
thread
or
extra
coarse
thread
which
cannot
be
threaded
through
the
needle
can
be
wound
on
the
bobbin
and
used
as
the
lower
thread.
Sew
on
the
wrong
side
of
the
fabric.
You
can
also
use
the
twin
needle
for
decorative
stitches.
Insert
the
twin
needle,
press
the
-push
button,
which
limits
the
stitch
width
to
prevent
the
needle
from
striking
the
stitch
plate.
1 N.B.
After
removing
the
twin
needle,
press
again
the
-push-button
until
the
light
goes
out.
Increase
the
stitch
width
again
if
you
are
going
on
using
the
same
stitch
with
the
ordinary
needle.
Changing
the
needle
Even
if
the
needles
look
alike
there
can
be
slight
variations
which
can
affect
the
sewing
result.
Be
sure
to
use
the
right
type
of
needles.
Only
a
completely
undamaged
needle
will
give
perfect
sewing
results.
Therefore,
change
the
needle
if
you
have
the
slightest
reason
to
believe
that
it
is
bent
or
that
the
point
is
damaged.
To
remove
the
needle,
loosen
the
screw
in
the
needle
clamp.
With
the
flat
side
of
the
shank
away
from
you,
insert
the
new
needle
into
the
needle
socket
as
far
as
it
will
go.
Tighten
the
screw
firmly.
