I never did that before, except with demin jeans. I've just picked up some other needles, hopefully I'll get to try them this weekend. Anyone else have problems with them.
I use Klasse a lot and have never had a problem. I also have Brother machines. Try taking the needle out, and repositioning it - sometimes if you don't push it far enough up the shaft, it isn't "set" in properly. Although, if your Brother has the automatic needle threader, then this won't work unless the needle is positioned correctly. In that case, I don't know what the problem is. Perhaps you got a bad batch of needles?
