What do I do with the upper thread?
In this chapter you will find information on how to thread the upper thread:

9.1
Changing the upper thread
Always first cut the thread at the spool and
then pull out of the needle
NOTICE
Risk of material damage
Never pull the upper thread upwards out of the machine on the side on
which the spool is located. This results in notching of the thread tensioner,
which in turn causes the hook system to jam and the seam to have a
sloppy appearance.
►
Always pull the cut upper thread out of the machine on the side on
which the presser foot is located, as described in the following instruc-
tion.
Required:
•
A pair of scissors

W6 Tip
Take note:
It must be ensured that the thread take-up lever, covered by the head
cover, and the needle are in a particular position before threading and any
program change.
In order to fulfil this requirement, press the “Needle Up - Needle Down”
button twice. The thread take-up lever and the needle are moved
automatically to the correct starting position.

Failure to do so will always lead to a sloppy seam, blockages or damage
to the sewing machine. In the event of any lack of clarity, further informa-
tion can be found at the VIDEO menu item at www.w6-wertarbeit.eu: Cri-
teria for optimal threading.
The lower thread has been pulled tightly and carefully to the 7 and 9 o’clock
positions in the silver slot of the black hook race. When pulling it in, you will
hear a definite clicking at the 7 and 9 o’clock positions. Lower thread
tension is active. You have performed a tension test.
