Threading the upper thread/Retrieving the lower thread 

 

 

 

Note:

 

The following description requires that 

the  steps in the chapters “Inserting the 

bobbin” and “Threading the upper thread” 

have already been performed. 

 

Caution: Risk of injury! 

Take your foot off the foot controller when 

threading the upper thread through the eye 

of the needle! 

 

1  Hook the upper thread into the thread 

guide and thread the thread through the 

eye of the needle.  Cut the thread with 

sharp scissors to be able to thread it more 

easily. Pull approx. 80 mm of the thread 

through the eye of the needle. 

 

Important 

Approx. 80 mm of the thread should protrude 

from the bobbin case before inserting it into 

the hook. 

 

2  Hold the upper thread with the left hand 

and turn the hand wheel with the right 

hand. 

 

 

3  By turning the hand wheel, the lower 

thread is moved up. 

Both threads must be guided below the 

presser foot and pulled approx. 80 mm 

towards the back. 

 

 

4  Once both threads have been led out, the 

extension table can be reinserted. 

The preparations for sewing are 

completed. 

 

Important:

 

 

Always lift the presser foot before removing 

the upper thread as otherwise the thread 

tension assembly may be damaged. 

1  Thread guide 

 

2  Upper thread (80 mm) 

3  Lower thread loop 

 

4  Guide the end of the thread back 

 

5  Insert the extension table
