Threading the yarn

Compare your machine with the illustration.  Does everything look exactly the same?

Now thread the second colour of your yarn into the left side of the yarn tensioner. Look again at the illustrations
27 to 32.

After threading fix the yarn in the yarn clamp on the left at the back of the needle bed.
