THREADING THE TOP THREAD

A. Raise the presser foot lifter. Always be sure to raise the

presser foot lifter before threading the top thread. (If the

presser foot lifter is not raised, correct thread tension

cannot be obtained.)

B. Turn the hand wheel counter clockwise until the needle is

in its highest position.

C. Thread the machine with your left hand while firmly gripping

the thread with your right hand in the following order as

illustrated.

* Guide the thread through thread guides (1 & 2), and then

pull it down along the groove (3).

* Guide the thread into the thread guide (4).
* Pass the thread through the eye of the needle (5) from

front to back. (See following page for instructions on

operation of the Automatic Needle Threader.)

IMPORTANT:
To verify that the machine is threaded properly in the

tension discs, do this simple check:
1.) With the presser foot raised, pull the thread towards

the back of the machine. You should detect only

a slight resistance and little or no deflection of the

needle.

2.) Now lower the presser foot and again pull the thread

towards the the back of the machine. This time you

should detect a considerable amount of resistance

and much more deflection of the needle. If you do

not detect the resistance you have mis-threaded the

machine and need to re-thread it.
