This section describes how to thread the needle.
Memo
zThe needle threader can be used with sewing machine needles 75/11 through 100/16.
zThe needle threader cannot be used with the wing needle or the twin needle.
zIf the needle threader cannot be used, refer to “Threading the needle manually (without using the needle threader)” (page 33).
aPull the end of the thread, which has been passed through the needle bar thread guide, to the left, then pass the thread through the notch of the thread guide a, and then firmly pull the thread from the front and insert it into the slit of the thread guide disk marked "7" all the way b.
Make sure that the thread passes the notch of the thread guide.

Note
zIf the thread is pulled through and cannot be cut correctly, lower the presser foot so that the thread is held in place before cutting the thread. If this operation is performed, skip step c.
zWhen using thread that quickly winds off the spool, such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull out about 80 mm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after passing it through the thread guide disks (marked “7”).
