* Guide the thread through thread guide (1), and
then pull it into the pre-tension guide (2).
* Pull the thread into the tension discs, passing
the thread to the left of plate (2). Then guide the
thread to the bottom of the groove.
* Do a U-turn around the inside of the tab (3).

THREADING THE TOP THREAD
A. Ra ise the presser foot lifter. Always be sure to raise the
presser foot lifter before threading the top thread. (If the
presser foot lifter is not raised, correct thread tension
cannot be obtained.)
IMPORTANT:
To verify that the machine is threaded
properly in the tension discs, do this
simple check:
1.) With the presser foot raised, pull
the thread towards the back of the
machine. You should detect only
a slight resistance and little or no

2.) Now lower the presser foot and again
pull the thread towards the the back
of the machine. This time you should
detect a considerable amount of
resistance and much more deflection
of the needle. If you do not detect the
resistance you have miss-threaded the
machine and need to re-thread it.
