Needle Threader
Switch off the main switch.
The needle must be in the up position
to use the needle threader. We also
recommend lowering the presser foot.
1. Pull the needle threader all the way
down, catching the thread under the
guide (a).
2. Bring it forward until the metal
fl anges cover the needle. A small
hook will pass through the needle
eye.
3. Place the thread around the guide
(a) and under the fl anges in front
of the needle, so the thread catches
into the small hook.
4. 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.
5. Place the thread under the presser
foot and cut the thread.
NOTE
:
The needle threader is designed to be
used for size 70-120 needles. You cannot
use the needle threader for size 60 needles
or smaller, the wing needle, twin needle,
triple needle or when the Buttonhole Sensor
Foot is on. There are also some optional
accessories that require manual threading of
the needle (see below).
When threading the needle manually make
sure that the needle is threaded from front
to back. The white presser foot ankle makes
it easy to see the eye of the needle. The
bobbin case cover can be used as a magnify-
ing glass.
