How do I thread the machine? (Threading the upper thread)
When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is not performing correctly, the thread may break or become tangled, causing the needle to bend or break.
It is recommended that rayon or polyester embroidery thread be used (120 den/2, 135 dtex/2, 40 weight (in Americas and Europe), #50 (in Japan)).
The path that the embroidery machine should be threaded is indicated by a line on the machine. Be sure to thread the machine as indicated.

>> This completes the upper threading.
If the thread is not taut, it may come out of the thread tension disc. After upper threading is finished, check again to make sure that the thread is correctly passed into the thread tension disc. (Refer to step 5 on Upper threading.)
