How do I thread my machine? (For models equipped with the needle threader)
(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. |
|
|
If the presser foot is not raised, the sewing machine cannot be threaded. |
|
2. | Press needle position button once or twice to raise the needle. |
|
|
If the needle is not correctly raised, the sewing machine can not be threaded. |
|
3. | Pull up the spool pin as far as possible, and then put a spool of thread on this pin. |

|
|
8. | While lowering the needle threader lever, hook the thread onto the guide. |

Fully lower the needle threader lever. The end of the needle threader rotates toward you and the hook passes through the eye of the needle. |
|
|
10. | Catch the thread on the hook as shown below. |
|
|
11. | While lightly holding the thread, release the needle threader lever. The hook will pull the thread through the needle. |
|
|
12. | Raise the presser foot lever, and carefully pull the loop of the thread through the eye of the needle to pull out the end of the thread. |
