Threading the upper thread
In this section, the procedures for installing the spool for the upper thread and threading the needle are described.
a Spool pin b Mark on handwheel
When threading the machine, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is not performed correctly, the thread may become tangled and the needle may bend or break. The needle threader can be used with sewing machine needles 75/11 through 100/16. Use appropriate thread and needle combinations. For details on appropriate needle and thread combinations, refer to Needle types and their uses (page 30). Thread with a thickness of 130/20 or thicker cannot be used with the needle threader. The needle threader cannot be used with the wing needle or the twin needle. If the needle threader cannot be used, refer to Threading the needle manually (without using the needle threader) (page 26).

Selecting a stitch (page 42). For details on the stitches that can be sewn with the twin needle, refer to Stitch Settings (page 89).
After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.

To return to single needle sewing, press (Needle mode selection key). Even after the sewing machine is turned off, the twin needle setting is not cancelled.
When using the twin needle, be sure to select the twin needle setting, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.
GETTING READY l For details on starting to sew, refer to

Start sewing.

Starting to sew (page 44).
Two lines of stitching are sewn parallel to each other.
When using the twin needle, the stitches may become bunched together, depending on the types of thread and fabric that are used. If this occurs, increase the stitch length. For details on adjusting the stitch length, refer to Adjusting the stitch length and width (page 42).
When changing the sewing direction, press (needle position button) to raise the needle from the fabric, and then raise the presser foot lever and turn the fabric. Otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged. Do not try turning the fabric with the twin needle left down in the fabric, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.

Replacing the Needle

This section provides information on sewing machine needles.

Needle precautions

Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the handling of the needle. Failure to observe these precautions is extremely dangerous, for example, if the needle breaks and fragments are dispersed. Be sure to read and carefully follow the instructions below.
Only use home sewing machine needles. Use of any other needle may bend the needle or damage the machine. Never use bent needles. Bent needles can easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.

Needle types and their uses
The sewing machine needle that should be used depends on the fabric and thread thickness. Refer to the following table when choosing the thread and needle appropriate for the fabric that you wish to sew. Thread Fabric Type/Application Type Broadcloth Medium weight fabrics Taffeta Flannel, Gabardine Lawn Thin fabrics Georgette Challis, Satin Denim Thick fabrics Corduroy Tweed Stretch fabrics Jersey Thread for knits Tricot Cotton thread 5080 Easily frayed fabrics Synthetic thread Silk thread Synthetic thread For top-stitching Silk thread 5060 90/14100/65/990/Cotton thread 6080 Synthetic thread Silk thread Cotton thread 6080 Synthetic thread Silk thread Cotton thread Synthetic thread 5060 Silk thread Ball point needle (golden colored) 75/1190/3050 90/14100/16 65/975/75/1190/14 Weight Size of Needle
The smaller the thread number, the thicker the thread, and the larger the needle number, the thicker the needle. Use the ball point needle when sewing on stretch fabrics or fabrics where skipped stitches easily occur. Use a 90/14 to 100/16 needle with transparent nylon threads, regardless of the fabric being sewn. A 75/11 needle is already installed when the sewing machine is purchased.
The appropriate fabric, thread and needle combinations are shown in the table above. If the combination of the fabric, thread and needle is not correct, particularly when sewing thick fabrics (such as denim) with thin needles (such as 65/9 to 75/11), the needle may bend or break. In addition, the stitching may be uneven or puckered or there may be skipped stitches.

Checking the needle

Sewing with a bent needle is extremely dangerous since the needle may break while the machine is being operated. Before using the needle, place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface and check that the distance between the needle and the flat surface is even.

Replacing the needle

Replace the needle as described below. Use the screwdriver and a correct needle, as described in Checking the needle.

Troubleshooting

If the machine stops operating correctly, check for the following possible causes before requesting service. If the problem persists, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized service center. Symptom Probable Cause The plug of the power cord is not inserted into an electrical outlet. The machine is not turned on. The bobbin winder shaft is moved to the right. The presser foot lever is raised. The sewing machine does not operate. A stitch other than the buttonhole or bar tack stitch was selected and the start/stop button was pressed while the buttonhole lever is lowered. Remedy Reference
Insert the plug of the power cord into page 14 a household electrical outlet. Turn on the machine. Slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left. Lower the presser foot lever. Raise the buttonhole lever. page 14 page 17 page 44
