Threading the looper thread with an auxiliary thread
The use of an auxiliary thread makes sense if a looper thread cannot be threaded automatically with the air
threader.
Prerequisite:
• «The threading preparation» has been performed. (see page88)
> Open the threader cover and the looper cover.
> Set the air threader connector to «I».
> Prepare an auxiliary thread at a length of about 80 cm.
> Fold the auxiliary thread in half, hold the thread loop and position the two thread ends above the
respective air threader nozzle.
> Start the air threader process by pressing the foot control until the thread ends emerge out of the looper
eye.
> Pull the looper thread end approx. 20 cm through the thread loop.
> Pull the auyiliary thread ends until the looper thread comes out of the looper eye.
> Remove the auxiliary thread.
> Place the looper thread under the presser foot to the rear left.
