 Service Center Tip (NSV Exclusive)

• 4–6 hours of sewing or if threads skip or needle deflects.

• Sew at medium speed on delicate fabrics to prevent plate contact.

• Always check needle clearance before engaging decorative stitches.

• Keep clearly labeled twin needle packs (1.6/70, 2.0/80, 4.0/80, 6.0/100) for quick service bench access.
