Note

￿If the needle threader lever is not lowered as much as possible, the hook will not turn fully as shown below and the thread will not pass through the eye of the needle.

In such a case, start from m again.

￿If the needle is not raised, the needle

threader cannot thread the needle. Be sure

to press (Needle position button) to raise the needle before using the needle threader. For details, refer to step c of "Threading the

●When pulling out the thread, do not pull it with extreme force, otherwise the needle may bend or break.

r Pass the end of the thread through the presser foot, and then pull out about 5 cm (2 inches) of thread toward the rear of the machine.
