Drawing up the lower thread
1
Raise the presser foot and the needle to their
highest positions.
2
While lightly holding the end of the upper
thread, slowly turn the balance wheel to the
front (counterclockwise) once by hand to
lower, then raise the needle.
3
The upper thread should have caught the
lower thread in a loop. Pull on the upper
thread to draw up the lower thread.
1 Upper thread
2 Lower thread loop
4
Pull out about 15 cm (6") of both threads and
put them toward the back of the machine
under the presser foot. The upper thread
should pass between the toes of the presser
foot.
1 Upper thread
2 Lower thread
Sewing with a Twin Needle
We have designed your machine so you can sew
with this needle and two top threads. You can use
the same color or two different colors of thread for
making decorative stitches.
Attaching the Twin Needle
Attach the twin needle in the same way as a
single needle (see page 7). The flat side of the
needle should face toward the back and the
rounded side should face toward you.
Attaching the Extra Spool Pin
Put the extra vertical spool pin in the hole on the
top right-hand side of the machine. Put the
second spool of thread onto the extra spool pin.

1
Use only twin needles that have been
made for this machine (part code:
X57521-001). Other needles could break,
and damage the machine.
When using the twin needle, make sure
the stitch width dial is not set above “3”
since this may cause the needle to hit the
needle plate and break.
Do not sew with bent needles. The
needle could break and cause injuries.
When using the twin needle, make sure
you use the zigzag presser foot only.
