Note: Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
Note: Make sure to raise the telescopic thread stand to its highest
position (illustration shows a “cropped” thread stand).
1. Place a thread spool on the middle spool pin. Pull the
thread through the left thread guide from back to front.
2. Carefully slide the thread under the pre-tension thread
guide from right to left.
3. Pull the thread along the threading slit. Using both hands,
insert the thread between the tension discs.
4. Pull the thread down along the slit and pass it to the left
following the thread path.
5. Slip the thread into the front slot on the thread guide.
6. Continue threading into the slot on the take-up lever.
7. Then slip the thread into the third slot on the next thread
guide.
8. Place the thread in the third slot on the thread guide
above the needle clamp.
Thread the eye of the needle. Use the needle threader
(see page 31) to make needle eye threading easier. Pull
about 4" (10 cm) of thread through needle eye to hang
free.
Place the thread to the back, under the presser foot.
Close the front cover and lower the presser foot to start
sewing.
