Remove the front needle access cover. Move the needle case to needle # 12. Remove the bobbin case from the rotary hook. Install a new needle. On the computer screen, Click on "Maintenance" Click on "Head Timing" Click on "Bottom Center" Now use a 2.5mm allen wrench to loosen the needle bar stud screw on the right hand side of the needle bar in the needle case. Without rotating left or right, lower your needlebar slightly so that you only can see approximately 1/3 of your needle's eye inside the upper most portion of the bobbin basket (rotary hook area). Tighten the needle bar stud screw snug but not over tight. Replace the needle case access cover. Try sewing on this needle.
