Threading the machine

*Raise the thread take-up lever to its highest position by turning the handwheel counterclockwise.

*Raise the presser foot lifter.

*Place a spool on the spool pin, with the thread coming

off from the bottom toward the front of the sewing machine.

Draw the end of the thread around the upper thread guide.

While holding the thread near the spool, draw the end of the thread down around the check spring holder.

Firmly draw the thread up to the take-up lever, and down into the take-up lever eye.

Thread the needle from front to back, or use the built-in needle threader.
