THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
Threading the upper thread is a simple process, but it must be done correctly in order to achieve the correct sewing results.
Turn the Power On/Off & Speed Control Switch to the “off” position before threading the machine.
Start by raising the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you
Raise the presser foot lifter, which will release the tension of the machine.
Note: This step is very important. If the presser foot is not raised so that the tension is released, the result will be a large thread jam on the underside of the fabric when you start to sew.

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
Place the spool base, thread and spool cap onto the spool pin.
If the thread spool is smaller in size, the spool pin can remain in a horizontal position. Note: If the thread spool has a slit on the end of it, put that end toward the right so that the thread doesn't get caught on it while sewing.
If the thread spool is larger in size, and therefore does not feed properly when it is placed onto the spool pin horizontally, move the spool pin to the vertical position. If the vertical position is used, loosen the spool cap slightly or completely remove it, so that it doesn't prevent the spool from turning while sewing.
