Helpful Hint: Placing a scrap of fabric under the

presser foot and lowering the presser foot makes

it easier to change the needle and will preclude

dropping the needle into the needle plate slot.

NOTE: Tighten snugly, but do not over tighten.

Changing the needle

1. Raise the needle bar to its highest position by turning the

hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise).

2. Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it toward you

(counter-clockwise).

3. Remove the needle by pulling it downward.

4. Insert the new needle into the needle clamp with the flat

side toward the back.

5. Push the needle up as far as it can go.

6. Tighten the needle clamp screw with the screw driver.

Always disconnect the machine from power

supply by removing the plug from the wall-outlet.

NEEDLE, THREAD AND FABRIC CHART

Your fabric will determine the choice of a needle and thread.

The following table is a practical guide to needle and thread

selection. Always refer to it before a new sewing project. In

most cases, you will use the same size and type of thread in

the bobbin as in the top thread supply.

* Do not use on stretch fabrics.

* For best sewing results, always use a SINGER branded needle.
