How does Fiberella replace needles?
&A: To replace needles on The Embellisher I don’t exactly follow the method in the instruction manual. In print this looks like a great deal of info. Actually its very simple to do and doesnt take but a minute. I turn off the machine, turning the hand wheel toward me to lower the needles. Then I lower the cloth presser lever, and also turn the cloth presser knob clockwise to the lowest position. I then remove the entire head without having to bend my head or slump in the chair to see it. Get the larger of the two allen wrenches. Loosen the brass barrel or needle clamp by turning the set screw with the red dot to the left. (This will make a really hard snap noise the very first time). When its loose I let the needle clamp gently glide down into the throat plate. Then I carefully lift it straight up and, just before it reaches the top, I angle the entire head just a bit to remove it. If you angle too abruptly, or before you have lifted straight up, you can bend the needle tips… so move
