Needle design
In most cases the standard needle is the most suitable
and the thickness of the needle should be adapted to the
type of thread and fabric. However, when sewing certain
fabrics, another design of the needle point can produce
better results.
You will find two needles in the needle case with the
description “Stretch” (completely blue). These needles
have rounder tips and should be used when sewing light
elastic fabrics, '^en a needle of this type contacts a
thread in the weave, the thread is pushed aside, without
it being damaged. It is also suitable for sewing corduroy
and soft leather.
If, on the other hand, you are using a rigid fabric, like
denim, sewing will be easier if you use the needle
described “Jeans” (top part blue).
This has a sharper tip, enabling it to pass through thick
seams more easily.
There is a twin needle in the needle case. It consists of
two standard needles, size 80, and is intended to be used
when sewing decorative or raised seams, as described on
pages 16 and 33.
When you use the twin needle, first press the button
marked t . The machine will then automatically
limit the stitch width for all stitches and the twin needle
can be used without any risk of it striking against the
stitch plate.
N.B. After removing the twin needle, press again the
I -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.
Regarding special needles, please refer to “Needle
Assortment” on pages 54 and 55.
