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).
Note: Make sure the upper looper is in up-position, by sliding the upper
looper positioning lever to the right (page 16).
Note: If threading special threads, such as wooly nylon, etc., refer to page
35.
1. Set the Threading/Sewing lever in "Threading" position
by sliding it to the left.
Turn the handwheel slowly toward you until it clicks and
the loopers are locked in threading position.
2. Place a thread spool on the middle spool pin. Pull the
thread through the middle thread guide from back to
front.
3. Carefully slide the thread under the top cover thread
guide from right to left, as illustrated.
4. Pull the thread along the threading slit. Using both hands,
insert the thread between the tension discs.
5. Pull the thread down along the slit and into the upper
looper thread guide.
6. Pull out approximately 22˝ (56 cm) of thread. Make sure
that the thread does not get tangled around the cover.
Using the tweezers, insert the end of the thread 1˝ (2 cm)
or more into the upper looper threading hole.
Note: Trim the thread end so that it can be inserted into the
threading hole smoothly.
7. Push the Threading Button to thread the looper.
8. Make sure that the thread comes out from the hole of the
looper tip.
If the thread does not come out from the hole, follow the
procedure from step "6" again.
Pull 4˝ (10 cm) of the thread under the toe of the foot,
and back between the presser foot and the upper cutter.
9. Set the Threading/Sewing lever in "Sewing" position by
sliding it to the right.
Close the front cover and lower the presser foot.
