CAUTION
•Use only twin needles made for this machine
(part code X59296-151). Other needles could
break, resulting in damage.
•Be sure to set the twin needle mode when
using the twin needle. Using the twin needle
while the machine is in single needle mode
could cause the needle to break, resulting in
damage.
•Do not sew with bent needles. The needle
could break and cause injury.
•When using the twin needle, be sure to use
presser foot “J” only.
•When the twin needle is used, bunched
stitches may occur depending on the types of
fabric and thread that are used.
If this occurs, use monogramming foot “N”.
•Before changing the needle or threading the
machine, be sure to press in the
LCD, otherwise injuries may occur if the
“Start/Stop” button or any other button is
pressed and the machine starts sewing.
Note
•The “Automatic Threading” button cannot be
used. Manually thread the twin needle from
front to back. Using the “Automatic Threading”
button may result in damage to the machine.
