Threading
Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in the up
position.
Threading the Upper Thread
For most regular thread qualities and spool sizes, threading
the upper thread from the main (left) spool pin in the vertical
position is recommended for optimal sewing results.
If you experience problems with the thread or sewing result,
there are alternative ways to position the thread spool. See
Threading Tips and Hints, page 36.
1. Hold the telescopic thread guide by the markings and
pull it straight up until it clicks into place.
2. Raise both spool pins to vertical position. Place the
thread spool on the main spool pin (left).
Using both hands, place the thread behind the left clip
on the telescopic thread guide (A). The thread should
run from right to left.
Note: When using thread cones, place a cone holder on the spool pin
before placing the thread cone. This prevents the thread cone from
wobbling.
Tip: When removing the thread cone from the spool pin, the cone holder
might become stuck inside the thread cone. Push it out gently from the
top.
