Please Note: It is important to carry out the threading correctly as by not doing so several sewing
problems could result.
Start by raising the needle to its highest point, and also raise the presser foot to release the tension
discs.
1. Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so
that the thread comes from the front of the spool, then place the spool
cap at the end of the spool pin.
2. Draw the thread from the spool through the upper thread guide.
3. Guide the thread around the thread guide pulling the
thread through the pre-tension spring as illustrated.
4. Thread the tension module by passing the thread between the
silver discs.
5. Then, down and around the check spring holder.
6. At the top of this movement, pass the thread from right to the left
through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards
again.
7. Pass the thread behind the flat, horizontal thread guide.
Guide the thread through the wire loop.
Pull the end of the thread through the needle from front to rear,
and pull out about 10 cm of thread.
Use the needle threader to thread the needle. (On the next page)
