Singer 3323 instruction manual Threading the Upper Thread

￿￿Threading the Upper Thread

This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.

-Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and continue turning the handwheel counterclockwise until the needle just slightly begins to descend. Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.

Note: For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the power before threading.

-Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder with the thread coming off the spool as shown. For small thread spools, place small side of spool holder next to spool. (2)

-Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide (3) and pulling thread through pre-tension spring as illustrated.

(4)

-Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel and up left channel. (5) During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread guide.

-At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again. (6)

-Now pass the thread behind the horizontal thread guide, and then behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (7) and then down to the needle which should be threaded from front to back.

-Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye. Trim thread to length with built in thread cutter. (8)
