Needle
and
thread
Your
sewing
machine uses a
type
705
or
type
130
needle.
This number
refers
to
the
length
and
configuration
of
the needle. It
is best
to
purchase
your
needles from
your
dealer. How
ever, if
this
is
not
possible
due to
some
emer
gency
condition
in your
locality you
can
get by
temporarily
with
what is
commonly
called
a
15x1 needle
which is
carried
in
stock by almost
all sewing
machine stores
or
wherever they sell
sewing machine needles.
The
above-mentioned
needles come
in
various
widths. And the larger
the width
number the
larger the eye of the needle.
With
regard
to
the
size
of the
needle
it may
be
generally
said
that numbers
80/12
or 90/14
can
be used for most
fabrics.
For
a
finer thread
or for
sheer or tightly
woven
fabrics
a
finer
needle can be used.
For
a
very heavy
or stiff fabric a
heavy needle
can
be used; the
higher
the
needle
number the
heavier
the
needle.
The sizes of
thread
and
needle
to
be used are shown in
the chart.
Changing
the needle
Loosen the needle clamp
screw
and
remove
the
needle.
When
you insert
the new needle,
turn
the flat side
away from you and
push the needle
up
into
the needle
socket as
far
as
the
stop.
Tighten
the screw so that
the
needle
is held
firmly.
