Threading The Top Thread - Singer 7466 Manuel D'instruction

THREADING THE TOP THREAD

A. Raise the presser foot lifter. Always be sure to raise the
presser foot lifter before threading the top thread. (If the
presser foot lifter is not raised, correct thread tension cannot
be obtained.)
B. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is in its
highest position and the thread take-up is visible.
C. Thread the machine with your left hand while firmly gripping
the thread with your right hand in the following order as
illustrated.
* Guide the thread through thread guide (1), and then pull it
into the pre-tension guide (2).
* Pull the thread into the tension discs, passing the thread to
the left of plate (2). Then guide the thread to the bottom of
the groove.
* Do a U-turn around the inside of the tab (3).
* Pass the thread through the thread take-up (4) from right
to left.
* Pull the thread into the inside of the take-up lever until it
reaches the eye of the lever.
* Guide the thread into the thread guide (5).
* Pass the thread through the eye of the needle (6) from
front to back. (See following page for instructions on
operation of the Automatic Needle Threader.)
IMPORTANT:
To verify that the machine is threaded properly in the
tension discs, do this simple check:
1.) With the presser foot raised, pull the thread towards the
back of the machine. You should detect only a slight
resistance and little or no deflection of the needle.
2.) Now lower the presser foot and again pull the thread
towards the the back of the machine. This time you
should detect a considerable amount of resistance and
much more deflection of the needle. If you do not detect
the resistance you have miss-threaded the machine and
need to re-thread it.
