Threading the needle Memo • The needle threader can be used with machine needles 75/11 through 100/16. • If the needle threader cannot be used, refer to "Threading the needle manually (without using the needle threader)" on page B-22. Pull the end of the thread, which has been passed a through the needle bar thread guide, to the left, then pass the thread through the notch of the threader thread guide a, and then firmly pull the thread from the front and insert it into the slit of the threader thread guide disk marked "7" all the way b. • Make sure that the thread passes through the notch of the threader thread guide. Upper Threading Note • If the thread is pulled through and cannot be cut correctly, lower the presser foot lever so that the thread is held in place before cutting the thread. If this operation is performed, skip step c. • When using thread that quickly winds off the spool, such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread the needle if the thread is cut. Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull out about 80 mm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after passing it through the threader thread guide disks (marked "7").

Note • If the needle is not raised to it's highest position, the needle threader cannot thread the needle. Turn handwheel counterclockwise until the needle is at its highest position. The needle is correctly raised when the mark on the handwheel is at the top, as shown under step c on page B-19. Basic operations B-21
