(For correct size, consult chart on Page 17.) FLAT SIDE To replace the needle, raise the needle bar to its highest point by turning the balance wheel TOWARD YOU by hand. Loosen the needle clamp screw (A) on the right hand side and the needle clamp will open, allow- ing the old needle to fall out. Fig. BALANCE WHEEL Remove the old needle and slide the new needle up (FLAT SIDE TOWARD THE BALANCE WHEEL) as far as it will go. When the needle hits the stop it is in position correctly. Now fasten the needle clamp securely. For best results change needles frequently. Fig.2 § NEEDLES AND THREAD l Never use a bent needle, nor one with a blunt point, since this causes imperfect stitches ‘and may cause the needle to break. Unless the needle is in CLEAR TO THE STOP, FLAT ‘SIDE TOWARD THE BALANCE WHEEL, the machine will be out of “time,” and skipped or imperfect stitches will result and needles may break. ‘The size of the needle should conform to the size of the thread and both should be suitable to the material. Use a needle sufficiently large to permit the thread to pass freely through the eye. In general sewing, use the same size thread in the bobbin as is used on top.
