Needles

The machine is supplied with Schmetz brand EL x 705
needles. This is an industrial type needle that ensures
proper stitch formation at high speeds. The scarf (dent
on needle back) is important because it allows the
looper to come near the needle to catch the thread and
form a stitch. EL x 705 needles are available in two
sizes – 80/12 and 90/14.

It is possible to use conventional sewing machine
needles – 130/705H – for special threads and fabrics.

Common stitch problems can often be traced directly to
the needle.
• Needle inserted incorrectly. (Flat side should be to

the back.)

• Needle not pushed up high enough into position.

• Needle is dull or has burrs. (Change needles

frequently; even new needles can have
imperfections.)
