3. Referring to the threading chart in Figure 3, it can be seen that the threading procedure is a
simple one. The thread is passed from front to back through the rear thread guide hole “A”. It
then slides between the two tension discs “B” and is brought out to the right of the guide arm
“C”. Carried forward, the thread is passed through the front thread guide “D” and down through
the needle clamp guide hole “E”. It then is passed through the eye of the needle "F", entering
on the underside of the needle and being removed at the top. The thread should be pulled
through to extend past the eye of the needle by a few inches.
D. INSERTING THE WORK IN THE MACHINE
1. Prior to inserting the work, the handwheel should be turned in the direction away from the operator
until the needle reaches the extreme left hand portion of its swing.
2. The knee lifter is then pressed to the right which drops the feed frame and creates a gap
between the presser foot and the platters.
3. The work is inserted underneath the presser foot and the edge of the hem fold or the ribbon
edge is lined up with the center of the spring-loaded cloth retainer or “shoe”. The lifter is then
released which locks the work in position. It is very important to insure that during machine operation,
the operator’s knee is not permitted to rest against the knee lifter. This can effect needle penetration
and result in non-uniform stitch quality.
