FAQs & Troubleshooting

How do I change the needle ?

  • Always press imageon the screen before changing the needle. If  image is not pressed and the Start/Stop button or another operation button is pressed accidentally, the machine will start and injury may result.
  • Use only sewing machine needles made for home use. Other needles may bend or break and may cause injury.
  • Never sew with a bent needle. A bent needle will easily break and may cause injury.
 

To check the needle correctly, place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface. Check the needle from the top and the sides. Throw away any bent needles.
