Threading the needle

This section describes how to thread the needle.

Memo

zThe needle threader can be used with sewing machine needles 75/11 through 100/16.

zThread with a thickness of 130/20 or thicker cannot be used with the needle threader.

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 passed through the needle bar thread guide to the left, and then pass the thread through the thread guide disk from the front.

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”).
