Threading the upper thread
This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly.
- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and also raise
the presser foot to open the tension discs. (2)
Note:
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 cap 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 module by leading thread down right channel and
up left channel (6). During this process it is helpful to hold the
thread between the spool and thread guide (4).
- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left through
the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again. (7)
- Pass thread behind the fl at, horizontal thread guide. (8)
- Now take thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide and then
down to the needle which should be threaded from front to back.
Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye.
