Threading the Upper Thread

  1. Switch the machine off.
  2. Raise the needle.
  3. Raise the presser foot.
  4. Place the thread spool on the spool pin so that the thread unwinds clockwise.
  5. Place the thread from the back through the thread guide.
  6. Pass the thread through the thread guide plate (1) and then insert the thread between the thread tension discs (2) of the adjusting wheel for the thread pre-tension. Note: If the thread tends to twist a lot, feed the thread through the 3 holes in the thread guiding plate (A), as shown in illustration (A).
  1. Hold the thread with both hands and place it clockwise around the thread tension adjustment wheel (1). Guide the thread over the end of the thread guide spring (2). Pass the thread from bottom to top into the thread guide (3).
  2. For regular threads: Hold the thread with both hands and insert it into the guide (1) from below. Feed the thread from right to left through the thread take-up lever (2). Feed the thread through the guide (1) from above.
  3. For thicker threads: Feed the thread through the 2 holes of the thread guide (1). Feed the thread from right to left through the thread take-up lever (2) and down through the guide (3).
  4. Hold the thread with both hands and insert it into the guide from the front left to the back right.
  5. Guide the thread through the guides on the right of the needle.
  6. Press the threading lever of the needle threader down as far as possible and turn it backwards.
  7. The wire hook runs through the eye of the needle from the right to the left.
  8. Place the thread around the thread guide of the needle threader from the front to the back.
  9. Guide the thread to the left of the needle beneath the wire hook and hold it in place.
  10. Turn the threading lever forwards and release it so that it returns to the starting position. While doing so, hold the thread loosely.
  11. The wire hook pulls the thread to the right through the eye of the needle to form a loop.
  12. Pull the thread completely through the eye of the needle.
