6. Pull thread through thread guide (4) on the take-‐up lever (D) inserting in the direction toward the front
of the machine.
7. Pull thread down to thread guide (5) and insert thread from the top downward.
8. Pull thread downward through thread guide (6)
If necessary, lower the needle (R) to reach this thread guide by turning the handwheel (K) slightly counter-‐
clockwise (in the direction toward you) to lower the needle (R)
9. Insert thread through eye (7) of the needle from the front toward the back of the machine (use threader
if necessary). If necessary, raise the needle (R) to reach the eye by turning the handwheel (K) slightly
clockwise (away from you).
10. Raise the presser foot (F) by lifting up o9n the lever at the rear of machine (G).
11. Pull about 10 inches of thread through the needle (R) and lay it on the deck under the presser foot (F)
running in the direction away from you.
BOTTOM BOBBIN PLACEMENT
1. Remove cover by lifting up where it has popped up at rear.
2. Place the bobbin with thread of your choice in the bobbin holder (J) leaving about 10 inches of thread
extended out from the bobbin holder (J)
3. Place the bobbin with thread of your choice in the bobbin holder (J) leaving about 5 inches of thread and
put into the gap (H)
4. Turn hand wheel (K) counter clockwise (toward you). Needle (R) will go down, picking up the bobbin
thread. Turn hand wheel (K) until needle (R) has descended completely and then come up again to its
highest raised point. Stop when needle (R) starts to go down again.
5. Raise the presser foot (F) and bring the spool threads around to the front. Pull it gently up and you will
see it has caught the bobbin thread. Pull the two threads toward the rear (away from you) and lay them
under the presser foot (F).
6. Snap the bobbin compartment (I) cover down an into place.
Note: it is essential that threading both top and bottom be done properly. Check carefully and do one
practice stitch before beginning to sew. Improper threading will damage the lockstitch.
The machine may have come pre-‐threaded from the factory. Look at this threading carefully before
removing it to replace thread or bobbing with different thread. Then follow the preceding instructions to
rethread.
THREADING MAIN UNIT USING SIDE BOBBIN
(Follow steps 4-‐11 on previous page with these exceptions)
1. Pull bobbin spindle (U) out from main unit
2. Insert bobbin spindle (U) through center hole of threaded bobbin
3. Insert bobbin spindle (U) (with bobbing attached) into bobbing holder (V). Make sure bobbin spindle (U)
with bobbing are tightly secured to main unit.
Note: Thread main unit with side bobbin simultaneously with thread spool for a double stitch method. Side
bobbin is to be used only if you are using this particular method of stitching.
OPERATING THE MACHINE (Without the foot pedal)
Follow these simple steps:
1. Lift the needle (R) above the presser foot (F) by turning the hand wheel (K) slightly in clockwise direction
(away from you)
2. Raise the presser foot (F) by lifting up on the lever on the rear of the machine above the presser foot bar.
