7.4 Thread change
Knotting thick thread
Tying on threads is often used for changing needle thread or Looper threads. (see page61)
Keep the knotted area as little as possible to reduce friction.
NOTICE
Pulling a thread tie through the needle eye
The needle can be bent. A bent needle affects the stitch formation.
> Cut the tie in front of the needle eye and thread the needle individually.
> Form a loop with the dark thread.
> Thread the pink thread end from beneath into the dark thread loop.
> Guide the pink thread to the back around the two dark threads and from above through the loop.
> Hold both thread ends and pull them apart.
