Threading the left needle (blue)
1. Thread the left needle following the blue path
and the order of the numbers 1 through 7 in
figure 24.
2. Pass the thread from the back to the front
through the thread guide position “1”. (Fig. 25)
3. Thread the top cover guide by pulling the thread
downward until it slips under the thread guide,
position “2”. (Fig. 26)
4. While holding the thread, pass it between the
tension discs and pull the thread down to make
sure that it is properly located in between the
tension discs in position “3”. (Fig. 27)
5. Continue to thread points 4-7. (Fig. 28)
Note: Be sure to pass the thread through the lower
thread path of the thread guide position 5.
(Fig. 28)
6. Thread the eye of the left needle, position 8.
(Fig. 29)
Note: Using the tweezers will make threading the
needle eye easier.
7. Draw about 4 inches (10 cm) of thread through the
needle eye to hang free.
8. Place the thread to the back, under the presser
foot.
