I'm assuming you are talking about the lower loopers as they are not needles but are below. It is necessary to become acquainted with threading these as it can be very frustrating to have to in the middle of a project when you run out of thread or a thread breaks. It is also imperative to follow precisely or you will have messed up stitches. That said it is possible to thread and becomes second nature when you learn. There are color coded thread guides to follow and you will find it easier by taking off the free arm apparatus to get to the loopers more easily. Use the long tweezers as that is easier than using fingers . Once threaded it is easy to 'pull' new colors through instead of trying to run the machine to change as they can easily break at the knot. Tie the new color to the old and loosen the tension and just pull gently through. You will have to thread the needles and use the long tweezers makes that a breeze. Hope this helps; but practise practise practise and you will be an expert in no time and using a serger will be as effortless as your sewing machine~!

place a dull needle, knitting needles will work to hold open the check valve open and let the air

Don't tighten the nozzle all the way down. I screw on until I hear airflow into the tubing and I see the needle on the pressure gauge move. Then I turn one or two more times.

You do not have to apply too much pressure. The needles are fine and the punctures are very small. You will probably not bleed.

You can adjust the left/right needle position (details are on page 21 of the manual). I've not found any information on adjusting the presser foot pressure.

First make sure you have the correct type of needle. Remember a needle on a sewing machine has a hole at the tip (bottom) not at the head (top). I hope this helps.

For the arm, there is a lever which can be used to raise or lower the arm however you must physically move the arm to where you want to place the needle and then lower it using the lever. Same with when the record is finished playing, you must use the lever to raise the arm, at which time the arm does automatically return to its resting place and then you can then use the lever to lower it back down.

Try your local art's and crafts store.(if small is what you want) I also used a 31gauge insulin syringe. And load it yourself ( be careful )

Tighten your upper tension. Also, make sure you hold your bobbin with your finger when you are threading it. You should feel a kind of catch then it is in the right place. Lastly, made sure your needle is in correctly and tight, sometimes the vibration of the machine will loosen the needle.

Try putting your needle position on zero one. That should solve the problem.

First you have mark the lowest location on the guages, by turning them down by hand then with a piece of tape mark the location with a pin, try to be as a curate as possible on your markings. Then you can begin your disassembly of your cluster. Reinstalling the needles, you must insert the needles at a 12 clock position and then turning them clock wise slowly and gently try and get the new guages back to your markings on the tape,and you are done and don't worry if you pass your marking just repeat the process until you obtain the proper location. I used the blue painters tape and the soldering kit that is offered with the step motors.hope this will help you out.
