This is used to decorate hems and tablecloths on thin
or medium weight fabrics in addition to plain weave
fabrics.

● The needle threader cannot be used with
the wing needle, otherwise the sewing
machine may be damaged. Manually pass
the thread through the eye of the needle
from the front to the back. For details,
refer to “Upper Threading” (page 28).
● Select a stitch width of 6.0 mm (15/64
inch) or less, otherwise the needle may
bend or break.
● 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.
