Changing threads (binding together)

1.Cut the yarn above the spindle and knot the ends of the new and the old thread together.
2.Place the thread tension selector 2/q/w/e at "0" and lift the sewing foot o.
3.Pull on the other end of the yarn until the knot passes under the sewing foot o.
4.For threading it in the needle, pull on the other end until the knot is in the eye of the needle and then cut the yarn to the left and right of the knot. Then carry out the rethreading.
