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:

1.) With the presser foot raised and the

needle unthreaded, pull the thread. You

should detect only a slight resistance

and little or no deÀection 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, this means you have not

threaded the machine correctly and

need to rethread it.
