Upper Threading Raise the presser bar lifter and swing the spool pins up to the vertical position. Place spool 1 on one of the spool pins and lead the thread behind both scrolls of thread retainer 2 (see ill. at top of p. 15). Seize the thread on the right and left of the thread retainer and pull it toward you until it snaps into the eyelets. It suffices to drew the thread into the left eyelet. Pull the thread between any two of tension discs 3 (see ill, at bottom of p. 15) and jerk it far to the right so that it slips properly into the slot and under the thread check spring. As you do this, press the thread against the casting between spool and tension. Bring take-up lever 4 as high as it will go and pass the thread from right to left through the hole at its end. Lead the thread down and into slot S. Then thread the needle from front to back. 14
