A worn, loose, or damaged needle clamp can cause the needle to shift position, resulting in skipped stitches, uneven stitch formation, needle breakage, or fabric damage. This replacement needle clamp restores proper needle retention and alignment, ensuring reliable stitch quality and preventing costly sewing interruptions. The clamp works by tightening around the needle shank with the attaching screw, creating a secure grip that holds the needle in the correct position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssociated Parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis needle clamp is frequently used in conjunction with Thread Guide #163146 on certain Touch \u0026amp; Sew models for complete needle bar assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the old needle clamp by loosening the attaching screw.
