SINGER 216G - Manual (Page 21)

Leave about 8 to 10 cm. (3 to 4 inches) of thread hang
out of the eye of the needle.
SINGER Threader (Fig. 11)
To thread the needle use the needle threader (No. 13,
Fig. 3). The presser foot is lowered and the needle bar
is raised to its highest point. Hold the needle threader
with the right hand so that it is behind the needle
and its hook is to the right of the needle and let the
hook of the threader slide down the short groove of
the needle until it slips into the eye of the needle.
Next, lead the hook as far as possible through the eye
of the needle, place the thread into the hook and hold
it as shown in Fig. 11.
Fig. 11 The Use of the SINGER Needle Threader
While holding the threader horizontally and lifting
slightly upward, draw the hook with the thread back­
wards out of the needle eye until the end of the
thread is completely out of the hook. The needle is
now properly threaded.
