KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE While lightly holding the thread, turn the 5 needle threader lever toward the front of the machine (toward you). The hook will pull the thread through the needle. 1 2 1 1 Hook 2 Thread Quick Thread-Setting System FAST START BOBBIN (models equipped with a quick thread-setting system) This new system allows you to start sewing immediately after inserting the bobbin without pulling up the lower thread. You can, however, draw up the lower thread as explained in "Drawing up the lower thread" if you wish. Set the main power switch to "O". Hold the end of the bobbin thread and insert 1 the bobbin case into the shuttle. 1 Raise the needle threader lever and pull out 6 about 5 cm (2") of thread through the needle toward the back of the sewing machine. 2 1 Bobbin case 2 Shuttle Close the shuttle cover while pulling the 2 thread through the slit in the cover. CAUTION ● The needle threader can only be used with home sewing machine needles size 75/11-100/16. Check the table on page 24 for the appropriate needle and thread combinations. If you are using transparent nylon mono-filament thread, you can only use needles in the range of 90/14-100/16. ● You cannot use the needle threader if you are using decorative threads or speciality needles, such as the twin needle and wing needle. If you are using these types of threads or needles, thread the needle by hand. Make sure the main power switch is off when threading the needle by hand. 20 2 1 1 Shuttle cover 2 Slit Slide the thread down to the bottom of the 3 slit, pull it up, and then cut it on the cutter to complete the lower threading. Pull out about 15 cm (6") of the upper thread 4 as usual, and then pull it between the toes of the presser foot and straight toward the back of the machine. Start sewing as usual. (It is not necessary to 5 draw up the bobbin thread.) (Refer to page 21.)
