Using a pair of tweezers, carefully pull the thread loose from the Vel-
cro bar. Make sure to grasp the thread behind the needle; gently pull
the thread until the knot is just in front of the needle.
Once the knot is directly in front of the eye of the needle, pull it out so
that it lines up with the eye, and pull gently and the knot should pass
through. If the knot does not pass through, trim the thread and thread
the needle directly. Once the needle is threaded, make sure the
thread passes through the hole at the base of the presser foot.
