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.)
IMPORTANT:
To verify that the machine is threaded
properly in the tension discs, do this
simple check:
.) 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.
.) Now lower the presser foot and again
pull the thread towards the the back
of the machine. This time you should
d e t e c t a c o n s i d e r a b l e a m o u n t o f
resistance and much more deflection
of the needle. If you do not detect the
resistance you have miss-threaded the
machine and need to re-thread it.
