THREADING THE MACHINE

A. PREPARING TO THREAD MACHINE
1. RAISE THE PRESSER FOOT LIFTER. It is
very important to raise the presser foot lifter
before you proceed to thread the machine.
2. Press the needle up/down button to set the
needle in up position.
(Keep this position for threading the eye of the
needle.)
B. SETTING SPOOL OF THREAD ON
SPOOL PIN
1. Pull up the left end of spool pin and set the
spool of thread on spool pin so that the thread
unrolls from the front of the spool.
2. Set the spool cap on spool pin as far as it will
go.
a. Reverse spool cap direction according to the
size of spool.
b. Use the small spool cap when you use cross
wound thread. Leave small opening between
cap and spool as illustrated.
Note:
It is very important to raise the presser foot lifter
before you thread the machine. Not doing so will
likely result in poor stitch quality, or excessive
thread loops on the underside of the fabric.
Always raise the presser foot lifter before you
begin threading the machine.
C. THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
1. Hold thread in both hands and pass thread into
the guide from front opening.
2. Bring thread backward and pass through the slit
from right to left.
3. Bring thread to the left and pull thread down
toward you along the slit.
4. Pull the thread around the U-turn, then bring it
back up.
5. To thread the take-up lever, draw thread up and
bring thread back down again from right to left
along the slit.
6. Pull thread downward along the slit.
7. Draw thread through thread guide from right
side opening.
8. Pass through needle eye from front to back.
