Upper Threading
1. Raise the presser foot using the Presser Foot Lever. (Fig. A)
2. Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel
toward you (counterclockwise). (This step will raise the thread
take-up into the correct position for threading.)
1 Presser foot lever
3. Place a spool of thread on the horizontal spool pin with the
thread coming from the bottom front of the spool. Press a spool
cap onto the spool pin to hold the thread spool firmly in place.
(Fig. B)
The thread end should come from the bottom front of the spool.
CAUTION
• If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set incorrectly,
the thread may tangle on the spool pin and cause the
needle to break.
• Use the spool cap (large, medium, or small) that is
closest in size to the thread spool. If a spool cap smaller
than the thread spool is used, the thread may become
caught in the slit on the end of the spool and cause the
needle to break.
CAUTION
Be sure to thread the machine properly. Improper threading
can cause the thread to tangle and break the needle, leading
to injury.
4. Pass thread through upper thread path. (Fig. C)
5. Make sure to guide the thread through the thread take-up lever
from the right to the left. (Fig. D)

6. Place thread behind the guide on the needle clamp above the
needle (Fig. E) through the opening on the right of the guide.
3 Needle clamp
NOTE:
If the thread take-up lever is lowered, the upper thread can not be
placed in the thread take-up lever correctly. Be sure to raise the
Presser Foot Lever and the thread take-up before threading the
upper thread.
Incorrectly feeding the thread may cause sewing problems.
