UPPER THREADING

mPress the “Automatic Threading” button to have the machine automatically thread the needle.

→The thread passes through the eye of the needle.

Memo

•When the “Automatic Threading” button is pressed, the presser foot will be automatically lowered. After threading is finished, the presser foot moves back to the position before the “Automatic Threading” button was pressed.

nCarefully pull the end of the thread that was passed through the eye of the needle.

* If a loop was formed in the thread passed through the eye of the needle, carefully pull on the loop of thread through to the back of the needle.

Note

•Pulling the loop of thread gently will avoid needle breakage.

oPull out about 5 cm (approx. 2 inches) of the thread, and then pass it under the presser foot toward the rear of the machine.

→Raise the presser foot lever if the presser foot is lowered.

aAbout 5 cm (approx. 2 inches)

Memo

•If the needle could not be threaded or the thread was not passed through the needle

bar thread guides, perform the procedure again starting from step c.

Then, pass the thread through the eye of the needle after step i.

Note

•Some needles cannot be threaded with the needle threader. In this case, instead of using the needle threader after passing the thread through the needle bar thread guide (marked “6”), manually pass the thread through the eye of the needle from the front to the back.

Using the Twin Needle Mode

The twin needle can only be used for patterns that

show after being selected. Before you select a

stitch pattern, make sure the stitch can be sewn in the twin needle mode (refer to the “STITCH SETTING CHART” on page S-67).

CAUTION

•Twin needle (part code X59296-151) is recommended for this machine. Contact your authorized dealer for replacement needles (size 2.0/11 is recommended).

•Be sure to set the twin needle mode when using the twin needle. Using the twin needle while the machine is in single needle mode could cause the needle to break, resulting in damage.

•Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and cause injury.

•When using the twin needle, it is recommended to use presser foot “J”.

•When the twin needle is used, bunched stitches may occur depending on the types of fabric and thread that are used.

Use monogramming foot “N” for decorative stitches.

•Before changing the needle or threading the

machine, be sure to press on the LCD Screen, otherwise injuries may occur if the “Start/Stop” button or any other button is pressed and the machine starts sewing.
