How to Use Needle Threader
Serging with Fabric
1. Turn the handwheel to line up the green marks on the machine. (fig. A page 17)
2. Set the needle threader selector on "R" (right needle) or "L" (left needle). (fig. A)
3. Press the needle threader lever down (fig. B) so that the hook goes into the eye of the needle.
4. Hold the needle thread horizontally with both hands and position the thread into the threader
hook guides on top of thread hook. (fig. B)
5. Release the needle threader lever, The hook will pull the thread through the eye of the needle
as it is released. (fig. B)
6. Carefully remove the loop of thread from the needle threader hook and place the thread under
the presser foot and to the left.
With the needle and upper looper threads under the foot and
to the back, lower the presser foot. While holding the threads
in your left hand, press down on the foot controller gently to
begin a thread chain before serging fabric. (fig. A)
You can leave the presser foot down for most serging appli-
cations. Just place the fabric at the toe of the presser foot.
As you step on the foot controller, the feed dogs will begin
moving the fabric toward the needle. (fig. B) You need to rai-
se and lower the foot only when working with thick, spongy or
lofty fabrics, or when precise positioning is required.
Be careful not to push or pull the fabric. The Victory will feed
it evenly without help. At the end of a seam, just sew off the
fabric edge and continue serging to create a 5" - 6" thread
chain. Cut the thread chain with the thread cutter on the left
side cover. (fig. C)
