Raise the presser foot and place the thread under it. Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70120 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for size 60 needles or smaller, wing needles or twin needles. There are also some optional accessories that require manual threading of the needle. When threading the needle manually, make sure that the needle is threaded from front to back. 14

Preparations
Needle threader
The needle threader allows you to thread the needle
automatically. The needle must be in its highest position
to use the built-in needle threader. Press the needle up/
down button to make sure the needle is fully raised.
We also recommend lowering the presser foot.
1.
Use the handle (A) to pull the needle threader all the
way down. Metal flanges encase the needle and a
small hook will pass through the needle eye.
2.
Place the thread from the back over the thread guide
(B) and under the small hook (C).
3.
Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook
pulls the thread through the needle eye and forms a
loop behind the needle. Pull the thread loop out
behind the needle.
4.
Raise the presser foot and place the thread under it.
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70-
120 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for size 60
needles or smaller, wing needles or twin needles.
There are also some optional accessories that require manual
threading of the needle.
When threading the needle manually, make sure that the
needle is threaded from front to back.
