Step by step to change the needle
1. Turn off the machine. This step seems basic but it is very important to avoid accidents.
2. With the help of the screwdriver, loosen the screw on the needle housing, turning it towards you. Carefully pull the needle out until you can remove it from the holder – you may need to unscrew it a little more if it doesn't come out right away.
3. Insert the new needle, taking care that the smooth/flat side of the upper part of the needle must be facing backwards.
4. Place it as high as possible and tighten the screw again using the wrench. This time turn the screw in the opposite direction of step 2.
5. On a piece of fabric, make a few stitches to make sure everything is ok.
6. If so, the machine is now ready to sew again!
