h
While holding the thread passed under the thread
guide plate, pass the thread through the thread channel
in the order shown below.
i
Slide the thread behind the needle bar thread guide.
The thread can easily be slid behind the needle bar
thread guide by holding the thread in your left hand,
then feeding the thread with your right hand, as shown.
Make sure that the thread is passed through to the left of
the tab of the needle bar thread guide.
j
Check that the needle and thread are compatible with
the needle threader. If they are compatible, continue
with the next step.
• The needle threader can be used with machine
needles 75/11 through 90/14.
• If the needle threader cannot be used, insert the
thread through the eye of the needle from front to
back by hand.
k
Pull the end of the thread, which has been passed
through the needle bar thread guide, to the left, then
pass the thread through the notch of the thread guide,
and then firmly pull the thread from the front and
insert it into the slit of the thread guide disk marked
“7” all the way.

Lower the presser foot lever to lower the presser foot.
m
Cut the thread with the thread cutter on the left side of
the machine.
Note
• If the presser foot has been lowered and the
shutter is closed, the machine cannot be threaded.
Be sure to raise the presser foot to open the shutter
before threading the machine. In addition, before
removing the upper thread, be sure to raise the
presser foot to open the shutter.
• This machine is equipped with a window that
allows you to check the position of the take-up
lever. Look through this window and check that the
thread is correctly fed through the take-up lever.

Note
• When using thread that quickly winds off the spool,
such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread
the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull
out about 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after
passing it through the thread guide disk (marked
“7”).
