Needle - this is the item without which the sewing process would be impossible. This applies to both manual and machine methods. But if the first involves holding the needle with your hands, then in the second it is inserted into one of the parts of the machine called the “needle holder”. And it is worth saying that without certain skills this is almost impossible. Some sewing beginners can’t even figure out which way to insert the needle into the machine. This is because the hole for the thread is at the bottom, not at the top. But first things first.
A few words about the work of needles in sewing machines
Indeed, the fact that the eye of the needle is at the bottom misleads many inexperienced seamstresses. But for those who have already studied structure of machine needles, it is clear why it is located exactly there. This feature is explained by their operating principle. The thing is that when you start sewing, the needle (with thread threaded through the eye) moves down, piercing the fabric. At this time, the thread passes through the long and short grooves.If from the side of the first it moves easily, then from the side of the second it is clamped between the material and the needle, and then slows down completely. At this moment the loop is created. It is picked up by the shuttle, thus forming a seam stitch.
But if the needle is inserted incorrectly, especially with the wrong side, then the sewing process will be impossible. Moreover, installation errors can cause equipment failure. Such problems will have to be solved in a service center or even in a store by purchasing a new device.
How to insert a needle into a sewing machine: instructions
Before you begin, you need to understand whether the part you have chosen is suitable. It is better to learn the intricacies of quick and reliable installation using the needles that come with the device itself. Usually this is a universal variety that is capable of performing any stitch provided by the capabilities of a particular machine.
Important! In electromechanical and fully automated devices, needle replacement is carried out only if they are disconnected from the power source.
Work must begin by moving the needle holder to the upper position. Next you need to do the following:
- Use a small screwdriver to loosen the fastening screw holding the failed needle.
- Take the new one with two fingers, making sure that the flask is turned away from you.
- Insert it into the holder, pushing it all the way.
- While holding the needle, tighten the screw until it is firmly and firmly secured.
- Make sure the groove is to the right of the needle bar.
Important! Installation double needle involves special threading of the upper threads. If the lower ones are refilled without any special features, then the others from two reels are first inserted simultaneously into all guides and drivers.They should be tucked individually into the ears last.

You can make sure that the installation was carried out without errors by making several lines on a separate piece of material. If they come out crooked or have gaps, then something was done incorrectly. In this case, the installation process will have to be repeated again. You can also try to loosen the screw and align the needle. It is allowed to change its position until the seams become beautiful.
