How do I thread my machine?
(1) Spool pin (2) Thread guide (3) Mark on the handwheel |
Make sure you thread the machine properly. Otherwise, the thread could tangle and break the needle.
1. | Raise the presser foot using the presser foot lever. |
(1) Presser foot lever
|
|
If the presser foot is not raised, the sewing machine cannot be threaded. |
|
2. | Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) so that the mark on the wheel points up. |
|
|
If the needle is not correctly raised, the sewing machine can not be threaded. |
|
3. | Turn off the sewing machine. |
|
|
4. | Pull up the spool pin as far as possible, and then put a spool of thread on this pin. |
|
|
If the spool of thread is in the wrong place, or is set incorrectly, the thread may tangle on the spool pin and cause the needle to break. |
|
5. |
Feed the upper thread as shown in the illustration below; i) Pass the thread through the thread guide. ii) Guide the thread down and up through the groove. |
(1) Thread guide
|
|
6. |
Pass the thread into the thread take-up lever from the right to the left. Then guide the thread down through the groove. |

7. | Put the thread behind the needle bar thread guide above the needle. |
|
|
The thread can easily be passed behind the needle bar thread guide by holding the thread in your left hand, then feeding the thread with your right hand. |
|
8. | Pass the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back. |
|
|
9. | Pass the end of the thread through the presser foot, and then pull out about 5 cm (2 inches) of thread toward the rear of the machine. |
