THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
This operation is important to carry out correctly as by not doing so many
sewing problems could result.
We suggest you read through the procedure carefully and carry out this process
several times before using the machine to familiarise yourself with the process.
Switch the power OFF.
Raise the needle to its highest point (1).
Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs. (2)
Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder with the thread
coming off the spool as shown. For small thread spools, place the small side of
spool holder next to spool. (3)
Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide. (4)
Guide the thread around the thread guide (5) pulling thread through
pre-tension spring as illustrated.
Thread the tension module by leading thread down the right channel
and up the left channel (6). During this process it is helpful to hold
the thread between the spool and thread guide (4).
At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left through
the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again. (7)
Now pass thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (8) and then down to
the needle which should be threaded from front to back.
Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye.
Trim the thread to length with built in thread cutter. (9)
