Threads There are many threads on the market today developed for different purposes. All Purpose Sewing Thread All purpose sewing thread is made of synthetic, cotton or cotton covered polyester. This type of thread is used for most sewing projects, including garments, home decor, and quilting.
Needles The sewing machine needle plays an important role in successful sewing. Use only quality needles. We recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package included with your machine contains needles of the most frequently used sizes. Be sure to match the needle to the thread you are using. Heavier threads require a needle with a larger needle eye.
Changing the Needle 1. Use the hole in the multipurpose tool to hold the needle. 2. Loosen the needle screw with the screwdriver. 3. Remove the needle. 4. Insert the new needle using the multipurpose tool. Push the new needle upwards with the flat side away from you until it will go no further.
