When you have had sufficient needle threading practice, you may shorten the procedure as follows: Push needle threader control down. Place thread behind hook of prong w so that its end is about /s inch to the right of the prong. Slowly re lease control. Prong w now pulls end of the thread -- instead of the loop -- through needle eye. Since the take-up lever is almost at its highest point when you thread the needle, it is sufficient to pull only about three inches of thread through the needle eye. V R 8458 w Drawing Up the Bobbin Thread A Hold needle thread lightly in your left hand. Turn balance wheel toward you until the needle moves down and up again and take-up lever reaches its highest position. Lightly pull needle thread to draw bobbin thread up through needle plate slat. Place both threads back under sewing foot before you put fabric into machine. 19
