Sewing hook-and-loop 
fastener

Note

●

Before start sewing, baste together the fabric 
and the hook-and-loop fastener.

Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-
and-loop fastener by turning the handwheel and 
lower the needle into the hook-and-loop fastener 
before sewing. And then, sew the edge of the hook-
and-loop fastener at a slow speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-
loop fastener, replace the needle with the needle for 
thick fabrics (page 21).

●

If fabric more than 6 mm (15/64 inch) thick is 
sewn or if the fabric is pushed with too much 
force, the needle may bend or break.

CAUTION

●

Use only the ungummed hook-and-loop 
fastener which is for sewing. If the glue is 
attached to the needle or the bobbin hook 
race, it may cause malfunction.

●

If the hook-and-loop fastener is sewn with the 
thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may 
bend or break.

CAUTION
