Threading the Single Needle

Notifications on the Needle Threader

The needle threader only works for threading a single needle. Always thread twin needles and triple needles by hand.
The needle threader can be used for needles from size 70 upwards. Thread thinner needles by hand.

For a proper seam and to avoid “thread tangles”, you must thread the upper thread correctly.

The thread path for threading is marked on the machine with drawn-through arrows.

Raise the presser foot so that the thread tension discs are open and the thread can slide easily between them.
Raise the needle so that the thread can be easily inserted into the thread take-up lever.
Lock the screen.
Place a felt pad on the horizontal spool pin.
Place the thread spool on the spool pin.
Select a spool cap with the same diameter as the spool and place it on the spool pin. The spool should not rotate. The thread should unwind properly.
For slippery threads put a spool net over the spool as an additional measure.
Hold the thread on the left and the right, and pull it straight from the front to the back underneath the thread guide eyelet.
Pull the thread underneath the rear thread guide to the front of the machine.
Guide the thread on the right downward past the thread tension disc.
Guide the lower thread upward around the thread take-up lever cover.
Guide the thread through the thread take-up lever and guide it downward. Make sure that the thread is guided under the left side panel.
Guide the thread from the right to the left behind the first thread guide in the needle area.
Guide the thread from the right to the left behind the second thread guide in the needle area.
Place the thread around the thread guide and pass it between the clamps.
Cut the thread from front to back using the thread cutter.
Press the needle threader lever all the way down and release it.
The thread is pushed through the needle eye.
Pull the loop of thread to the rear until the end of the thread is pulled through the needle.
Unlock the screen.

The needle is threaded.
