Threading chart
The machine is pre-threaded to make threading
easier.
Tie the end of a new thread to one of the pre-set
threads, and pull it to draw the new thread through
the machine, following the steps below.
* Turn off the power switch before threading the
machine.
1. Pull the threads from the spools and draw them
through the thread guides, then tie the thread
ends together.
2. Raise the presser foot, draw the threads until the
knots are coming out from under the back of the
presser foot.
3. However, stop drawing the needle threads when
the knots reach just before the needle eye.
Cut the knots and thread the needle eye.
4. Before starting sewing, clear the needle threads
from under the presser foot to make sure they are
not caught below the needle plate.
(Draw the needle threads in the direction A)
Then pull out the threads to the back approxi-
mately 10 cm (4
˝
) away from the presser foot.
Lower the presser foot, and you are now ready to
sew.

• For re-threading the machine easily, start from the
lower looper, upper looper, right needle and left
needle threads.
Make sure to clear the needle threads out from
below the needle plate and draw them to the
back and under the presser foot about 10 cm (4
˝
).
