Zigzag stitch balanced tension
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric, and the
needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side (bottom
side) of the fabric.
See the illustrations for the correct appearance.
To match this appearance, adjust the needle tension as
necessary.
Balanced tension
Minimize the amount of needle thread visible on the
wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric without causing
excessive puckering, or causing the bobbin thread to
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric.
Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions.

Changing the Needle
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the power switch before changing the
needle.
Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the
handwheel counterclockwise, and lower the presser
foot.
A loose needle or a loose screw may cause machine
malfunction or needle to break.
Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it
counterclockwise. Remove the needle from the needle
clamp.
Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with the at
side to the rear. When inserting the needle into the
needle clamp, push it up as far as it will go.
Tighten the needle clamp screw rmly by turning it
clockwise.
q Needle clamp screw
w Flat side
To see if the needle is in good condition, place the at
side of the needle onto something at (needle plate, glass
etc.). The gap between the needle and the at surface
should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt needle.
A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs
in knits, ne silks and silk-like fabrics.

Fabric, Thread and Needle Chart
• For general sewing, use needle size 11/75 or 14/90.
• A ne thread and needle should be used for sewing
lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred.
• Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to
pierce the fabric without fraying the needle thread.
• Always test the needle size on a small scrap of the
fabric that will be used for actual sewing.
• In general, use the same thread for the needle and
bobbin.
• When sewing stretch fabrics, very ne fabrics and
synthetics, use a blue tip needle. The blue tip needle
effectively prevents skipped stitches.
NOTE:
1 x blue tip needles (#11/75), 2 x #11/75 needles and 2
x #14/90 needles are included in the needle case (Part
No. 540401026).
