Threading the Machine
1.
Place a cone or spool of thread on the spool pin. Pass the thread through
the thread
mast
eyelet from back to front, continuing to thread guides
A and B
.
2.
Continue to three-hole thread guide
C
. Wrap all three holes from back to front, back
hand wheel side to needle side (see Detail 1 below).
Note:
The purpose of this guide is to prevent loops of thread coming off the thread
cone from going into the top tension as a knot causing thread breakage and bad
tension. For most threads on a cone, it is important to thread all three holes for
consistent results – should top thread tension need to be adjusted it should be done at
the top tension assembly.
3.
Thread continues through thread guide
D
, and then down to the
tension assembly
(see Detail 2 below).
NOTE:
It is important that the thread is ―flo
ssed‖
up between the two tension discs. If
the thread is not firmly in place between the two tension discs, the thread rests on the
outside of the tension discs (without tension) and looping on fabric or thread nests may
occur.
4.
Once the thread is in place, be sure that the thread catches on the
take up spring
and
then pull it down under the stirrup (thread guide
E
).
