UPPER THREADING

 

 

  1. Raise the presser foot lever. (If the presser foot is not raised, the sewing machine cannot be threaded correctly.)

     

  2. Press the needle position button to raise the needle.

     

  3. Place the spool on the spool pin so that the thread unrolls from the bottom front of the spool.

    Then, secure the spool on the spool pin using a spool cap with the size closest to the spool size.

     

  4. While holding the spool thread with your right hand, use your left hand to keep the thread taut while passing it through the guides as shown.


     

           

     

    Incorrect threading may cause damage.

     
  5. Pass the thread through the wire loop, and then lower the presser foot lever.

     

    Lowering the presser foot lever engages the auto thread tension unit, allowing you to pull the thread taut as you continue.

    Be sure to raise the presser foot lever before removing the upper thread, otherwise the auto thread tension unit may be damaged.

     
  6. Use your left index finger to lower the needle threader lever while gently pulling the thread to the left so that it catches on the large hook.

     

  7. Lower the needle threader lever to its lowest position and check that the thread is held by the large hook and that the small hook has passed through the eye of the needle.

    Pull the thread through the guides on each side of the needle so that the thread catches on the hook that passes through the eye of the needle.

     

  8. While gently holding the thread, raise the needle threader lever.

     

  9. Pull the thread through the eye of the needle out towards the rear of the machine.

     

  10. Pass the thread underneath the presser foot, and then pull about 2" (5.0 cm) of the upper thread out toward the rear of the machine.

     

    You can begin sewing without pulling up the bobbin thread.

     
    • The needle threader cannot be used with the needle and thread combinations shown at the left.
       
    • The needle threader can be used with transparent nylon thread and any size needle between 90/14 and 100/16.
