Threading the upper thread
Please read the following instructions carefully as an incorrect
sequence or thread guiding can lead to broken threads, missed stitches
and gathered fabric.
Before threading the needle, raise the needle to its top position by
turning the hand wheel
26
.
Also raise the presser foot lever
19
to its upper position: this
releases the thread tension and allows easy threading of the upper
thread.
Place a cotton reel onto one of the cotton reel holders and fi x the
cotton reel with the thread arrester.
Now pass the thread under the clamp spring of the upper thread
guide
17
as shown:
Then pass the thread between the tension discs of the upper thread
tension regulator
3
as illustrated.
Unlike most sewing machines, the tension discs of the upper thread
tensioner are not directly visible. Therefore, be very careful that the
thread lies between the tension discs and does not run through the
machine anywhere else.
TIP
An upper thread tension of 3–4 is ideal for most applications.
