How do I thread my machine (Threading the upper thread)?
Upper thread shutter |
This machine is equipped with an upper thread shutter, allowing you to check that the upper threading is performed correctly.
If you try to thread the needle with the needle threader lever without raising it, damage to the machine may result.

Lower notch in the thread guide plate Upper notch in the thread guide plate |
When passing the thread through the lower notch in the thread guide plate, then through the upper notch, be sure to use both hands. If you do not hold the thread with your right hand, the thread will be loose and you cannot hang the thread on the thread guide plate correctly. It may cause incorrect thread tension.
