Check that the needle and thread are compatible with
the needle threader. If they are compatible, continue
with the next step.
• The needle threader can be used with machine
needles 75/11 through 90/14.
• If the needle threader cannot be used, insert the
thread through the eye of the needle from front to
back by hand. At this time, be sure to lock all keys
and operation buttons described in step
c
.
k
Pull the end of the thread, which has been passed
through the needle bar thread guide, to the left, then
pass the thread through the notch of the threader
thread guide, and then firmly pull the thread from the
front and insert it into the slit of the threader thread
guide disk marked “7” all the way.

Carefully pull the end of thread that was passed
through the eye of the needle.
If the needle was not completely threaded, but a loop in
the thread was formed in the eye of the needle, carefully
pull the loop through the eye of the needle to pull out
the end of the thread.
p
Raise the presser foot lever, pass the end of the thread
through and under the presser foot, and then pull out
about 10 cm (approx. 4 inches) of thread toward the
rear of the machine.

Press
to unlock all keys and buttons.
Note
• When using thread that quickly winds off the spool,
such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread
the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull
out about 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after
passing it through the threader thread guide disk
(marked “7”).

Note
• If the needle is not raised to it's highest position,
the needle threader cannot thread the needle. If the
needle is not at the highest position, turn
handwheel counterclockwise until the needle is at
its highest position.
