Needle threader To make threading the needles easier, use the needle threader included with the accessories. • Turn the handwheel so the needles are in their highest position and lower the presser foot. Make sure one of the rectangular markings of the needle threader is pointing upwards. Place the thread from right to left in the notch on the tip of the needle threader. • Hold the needle threader against the needle. Move the needle threader down to the needle eye and press gently against the needle, causing a small metal pin to push the thread through the needle eye and form a thread loop. • Use the needle threader to pull the thread loop out behind the needle. Changing thread The following is an easy way to change threads: • Cut the thread in use near the spool, behind the guides on the telescopic thread stand. • Remove the thread spool and place the new thread on the spool pin. • Tie the end of the new thread to the end of the old thread. Cut the thread tails to 2-3 cm (1") in length and firmly pull both threads to test knot security. • Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs. • Pull the threads through the machine one at a time until the knots are in front of the needle. If the threads do not pull easily, check for tangles on thread guides or looping under thread stand. • Cut the thread behind the knot and thread the needle. 16 Threading
