13 Press (Automatic threading button)
to have the machine automatically thread
the needle.
14 Carefully pull the end of the thread that
was passed through the eye of the
needle.
* If a loop was formed when the thread passed
through the eye of the needle, carefully pull the
loop of thread through the eye to the back of the
needle.
• Look in the upper groove area to check if the
thread catches on the thread take-up lever
visible inside the upper groove area.
• When using thread that quickly winds off the
spool, such as metallic thread, it may be
difficult to thread the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter,
pull out about 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) of
thread after passing it through the thread
guide disks (marked “7”).
