Threading the upper thread

This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly


as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.
- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and continue
turning the handwheel counterclockwise until the needle just
slightly begins to descend. Raise the presser foot to release
the tension discs.
Note: For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the 1 2 3 4
power before threading.
- Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder
with the thread coming off the spool as shown. For small
thread spools, place small side of spool holder next to spool. (2)
- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide (3)
and pulling thread through pre-tension spring as illustrated. (4)
- Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel
and up left channel. (5) During this process it is helpful to hold
the thread between the spool and thread guide.
- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left
through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then
downwards again. (6)
- Now pass thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (7)
and then down to the needle which should be threaded from
front to back.
- Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle
eye. Trim thread to length with built in thread cutter. (8)
Note:
If your sewing machine is equipped with the factory installed
optional automatic needle threader, instructions for use can be
found on page 14. 5 6 7 8

Thread tension

m
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: "4" (1)
To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.
To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

.co
A. Normal thread tension for straight stitch sewing.
B. Thread tension too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial
to higher number.
C. Thread tension too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to
lower number.
D. Normal thread tension for zig zag and decorative sewing.
es
Correct thread tension is when a small amount of the upper
1 2
thread appears on the bottom side of fabric.
Lower thread tension (2)
To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin case and
bobbin and hold it by suspending it by the thread. Jerk it once or
twice. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about
uid

an inch or two. If the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all.
If the tension is too loose, it will drop too much. To adjust, turn
the small screw on the side of the bobbin case.
Please note: A B
- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch
functions, thread or fabric.
- A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom) is
-g

usually only desirable for straight stitch construction sewing.


- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5".
- For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread
tension should generally be less than for straight stitch sewing. C D
- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch
all

and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on


the bottom side of your fabric.
