Changing the Needle on a Singer Simple Sewing Machine
Here’s how you move the needle on a Singer Simple sewing machine to remove it, based on the provided reference:
- Locate the Needle Clamp Screw: Find the small silver knob (needle clamp screw) located near the needle.
- Loosen the Screw: Turn the silver knob to the left (counterclockwise) or towards yourself. According to the video reference, you only need to loosen the screw slightly. This action loosens the grip on the needle, allowing it to be removed.
- Remove the Needle: Once the screw is loose, the needle will drop down and can be taken out of the machine.
- Insert New Needle: With the screw still loose, you can insert your new needle into the correct spot and tighten the needle clamp screw.
By following these steps, you can properly move the needle for replacement. It's important not to fully unscrew the needle clamp screw since it only needs to be loosened.
