NOTE:

When using the needle threader, be sure to align the bottom of the needle holder with the bottom of the holder for the needle-threading hook before lowering the needle threader lever. Otherwise, the hook may be damaged.

3.While lowering the needle threader lever, hook the thread onto the guide.

4.Pull down the needle threader lever as much as possible, then ro- tate the lever toward the back of the machine (away from you). Make sure that the hook passes through the eye of the needle and grabs the thread.

Hold the thread in front of the needle in order to make sure that the hook grabs it.

6.Raise the needle threader lever and pull out about 5 cm (2") of thread through the needle toward the back of the sewing machine.

Only use the needle threader with needle sizes #70 to #100. In addition, refer to the CHART OF SEWING FABRICS, NEEDLES AND THREAD COMBINATIONS to check that the appropriate thread and needle are being used. When using transparent nylon thread, use needles of sizes #90 to #100.
