NOTE:

*When you thread the upper looper only, to avoid tangled threads putt out both threads over the needle plate and under the presser foot.

Turn the handwheet toward you until the upper looper comes to the middle point of its travel, and unhook the thread of the lower looper from the upper looper. Thread the upper looper.
