When a needle is broken, it should be replaced with a new needle. Sometimes a needle can be fixed when you take it out of the machine, for example when the latch is caught under the hook.
Read our guide below or watch our videos here:
- Identify which needle needs replacement.
- With the bar removing tool, slide the needle bed bar to the side.
- Slide the needle up, and take it out.
- Take the new needle and place the back of the butt in the empty groove on the needle bed.
- Slide the needle down into the groove until its butt is aligned with the other buts.
- Slide the horizontal bar back using the bar removing tool.
