Threading the needle
This section describes how to thread the needle.
Memo
z The needle threader can be used with
sewing machine needles 75/11 through
100/16.
z Thread with a thickness of 130/20 or thicker
cannot be used with the needle threader.
z The needle threader cannot be used with the
wing needle or the twin needle.
z If the needle threader cannot be used, refer
to “Threading the needle manually (without
using the needle threader)” (page 33).
a
Pull the end of the thread, which has been
passed through the needle bar thread guide, to
the left (A), and then firmly pull it from the
front (B) through the slit in the thread guide
disk.
Make sure that the thread passes the notch of
the thread guide.

left side of the machine.

Note
z When using thread that quickly winds off the
spool, such as metallic thread, it may be
difficult to thread the needle if the thread is
cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter,
pull out about 80 mm (approx. 3 inches) of
thread after passing it through the thread
guide disks (marked “7”).
