Selecting the Needle
It is recommended to use the needle type ELx705 CF (Chrome Finish) version as they are more durable due to the chrome coating. The machine runs most reliably with these needles because of their second groove. The needles should be replaced regularly. Only a perfect needle point can achieve a proper stitch.
