d) Retrieving the lower thread
• Turn the handwheel
s
in an anti-clockwise
direction to fully raise the needle.
• Use the foot lever
j
to raise the needle
retainer
;
.
• With the left hand, firmly hold the end of
the upper thread that comes through the
eye of the needle.
• Then use your right hand to turn the hand-
wheel
s
one full turn anti-clockwise.
• The upper thread now pulls up the lower
thread in a loop
”
.
• As soon as the lower thread appears, pull
carefully on the upper thread held in your
left hand. In this way, you can pull the lower
thread clear.
• Pull out the two threads by about 10 cm.
• and lay these away to the back, as shown.
The sewing machine is now ready to use.
e) Threading with 2 needles
When you have inserted the twin needle as
described in Chapter 9:
• Pull out both thread spool carriers
i
on
top and place two spools of thread there.
• You can place a felt pad underneath the
spool of thread, so that the bobbin runs evenly.
• Run both upper threads exactly as they
would be run for threading a single thread, ...
• except for threading at the needle: in this
case, thread the two ends of the upper
threads separately through the two needle
eyes.
• The lower thread is then threaded in exactly
the same way and lifted upward, as for a
single thread.
