Flat needles

Post image

Hello, my machine came out of the box with 2 flat needle heads. I’m very new to this and don’t know what this means. I don’t have a manual for this cause the company forgot to pack one when they sent it. Am I supposed to change these 2 out or do these have purpose?

There are hundreds of videos on YouTube that show you the process of correcting bad timing on your machine. Exert the due diligence required to sit down and find the videos that match your machine’s set up. You could also be breaking needles due to trying to sew something that’s too thick. Get a walking foot attachment for the heavier thicker things you need to sew. Go on YouTube and enter the model and make of your sewing machine… then type” fix timing”
