Needle Installation
Fabricator needles are round on top, unlike
home sewing machine needles. As a result,
proper installation must be exercised.
Improperly installed needles are the
main reason users call for help.

The needles have two distinct sides. One side
has a long channel or groove running the length
of the needle, and the other side has a short
scarf (A) (i.e., a carved-out area) just above the
needle eye.
When installed, the scarf (A) should face toward
the right as you face the front of the machine.
Ensure the needle is pushed all the way up into
the needle bar (B) before tightening screw (C).

CAUTION: If the needle is inserted the wrong
way, the machine will skip stitches and break
thread.
