Threading the upper
thread
This is a simple operation but it is
important to carry out correctly as
by not doing so several sewing
problems could result.
- Start by raising the needle to
its highest point, and also raise
the presser foot to release the
tension discs. (1/2)
- Lift up the spool pin. Place the
thread and spool holder onto
the spool pin.
For small spools of thread,
use the spool cap with the
small end facing the spool of
thread. (3)
- Draw thread from spool to the
upper thread guide. (4)
- Guide thread around thread
guide pulling thread through
pre-tension spring as
illustrated. (5)
- Continue downwards on the
right side of the large verticle
thread guide passing under
and up on the left side
allowing the thread to engage
in the check spring as it
passes upwards. (6)
- At the top of this movement
pass it from right to left
through the slotted eye of the
take-up lever and then
downwards again. (7)
- Pass behind the flat,
horizontal thread guide. (8)
- Now take it behind the thin
wire needle clamp guide and
then down to the needle which
should be threaded from front
to back. Pull about 6-8 inches
of thread to the rear beyond
the needle eye. (9)
