1. Place thread cone onto spool post (1), thread through thread-mast eyelet (2)
from back to front and pass through thread guide (3).
2. Continue to three-hole thread guide (4). Wrap all three holes from back to front,
being careful not to cross threads. If delicate threads are breaking,
skip one or two holes to lessen tension.
3. Pass through thread guide (5) and continue
down to tension assembly (6). Ensure
that the thread is flossed between
the two tension discs.
4. Catch the take-up spring (7) with
thread and pull it down under the
stirrup thread guide (8).
5. Bring the thread up and through the hole of the
take-up lever (9) from back to front, and then
through the lower thread guide (10). Finally, thread
through the needle bar thread guide hole (11).
6. Follow the groove down the front of the needle and
insert thread through the eye of the needle (12) from
front to back. While pulling thread through the eye, be
careful that the thread does not twist around the needle.
