Winding Through the Needle
When using the same thread in the needle and bobbin, it is
convenient to wind a new bobbin directly through the needle
without having to unthread/re-thread your machine.
We do not recommend winding speciality threads such as
invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic
threads through the needle. Very heavy and coarse threads
should not be wound through the needle either as the thread
tension can become too high, causing the needle to break.
Wind specialty threads as described under Bobbin Winding,
page 39.
1. Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in the up
position.
2. Thread the machine as described under Threading the
Upper Thread, page 32.
3. Pull the thread from the needle, under the presser foot
and up to the right.
Note: Always use a metal presser foot when bobbin winding from
the needle.
4. Use both hands to bring the thread through bobbin
winding thread guide (A), up through the threading slot
and from left to right through thread guide (B).
