THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
Make sure that the presser foot is raised and the needle is in
the up position.
1. Place the thread on the spool pin and the spool cap on
the spool as described on page 2:3.
2. Spool pin in horizontal position:
Bring the thread over and behind the pre-tension
thread guide (A) and under the thread guide (B).
Spool pin in vertical position:
Instead of bringing the thread into the pre-tension
guide (A), bring it directly under the thread guide (B).
3. Bring the thread down between the thread tension
discs (C).
4. Continue threading in the direction indicated by the
arrows. Bring the thread from the right into the slot on
the take-up lever (D).
5. Take the thread down and behind the last guide just
above the needle (E).
NEEDLE THREADER
The needle threader allows you to thread the needle
automatically. The needle must be in the up position to use
the Built-In needle threader. We also recommend lowering
the presser foot.
1. Use the handle to pull the needle threader all the way
down. The threader hook (G) swivels through the
needle eye.
2. Place the thread from the back over the hook (F) and
under the thread hook (G).
3. Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook
pulls the thread through the needle eye and forms
a loop behind the needle. Pull the thread loop out
behind the needle.
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70-120
needles. You cannot use the needle threader for needles size 60 or
smaller, the wing needle, twin needle, triple needle or when the Sensor
One-Step buttonhole foot is attached. There are also some optional
accessories that require manual threading of the needle.
When threading the needle manually, make sure that the needle
is threaded from front to back. The bobbin cover can be used as a
magnifying glass to make threading easier.
