When threading the upper thread,
carefully follow the instructions. If the
upper threading is not correct, the thread
may become tangled and the needle may
bend or break.
The needle threader can be used with
sewing machine needles 75/11 through
100/16.
Use appropriate thread and needle
combinations. For details on appropriate
needle and thread combinations, refer to
“Needle types and their uses” (page 38).
Thread with a thickness of 130/20 or
thicker cannot be used with the needle
threader.
The needle threader cannot be used with
the wing needle or the twin needle.
If the needle threader cannot be used,
refer to “Threading the needle manually
(without using the needle threader)”
(page 33).
If the presser foot is not raised, the sewing
machine cannot be threaded.
