THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
Threading is simple but it is important to thread correctly to prevent
sewing problems could result.
- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and also raise
the presser foot to release the tension discs. (2)
Attention:
For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the power before threading.
- Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder
with the thread coming off the spool as shown. For small thread
spools, place small side of spool holder next to spool. (3)
- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide. (4)
- Guide thread around thread guide (5) pulling thread through pre-
tension spring as illustrated.
- Thread tension disks by leading thread down in right channel
and up in left channel (6). During this process it is helpful to hold
the thread between the spool and thread guide (4).
- At the top pull thread from right to left through the slotted eye of
the take-up lever and then down again. (7)
- Place thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (8) and
then down to the needle eye and thread from front to back.
- Pull about 6-8 inches of thread under the presser foot to the
back. Trim thread to length with built in thread cutter. (9)
