Needle threader
The needle threader allows you to thread the
needle automatically. The needle must be in
its highest position to use the built-in needle
threader. Press the needle up/down button to
make sure the needle is fully raised.
We also recommend lowering the presser foot.
1. Use the handle to pull the needle threader all
the way down. The threader hook (F) swivels
through the needle eye.
2. Place the thread from the back over the hook
(G) and under the thread hook (F).
3. Let the needle threader gently swing back.
The hook pulls the thread through the needle
eye and forms a loop behind the needle. Pull
the thread loop out behind the needle.
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used
for size 70-120 needles. You cannot use the needle
threader for size 60 needles or smaller, wing needles or
twin needles. There are also some optional accessories
that require manual threading of the needle.
When threading the needle manually, make sure that
the needle is threaded from front to back.
Threading for twin needle
Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle.
Make sure that the presser foot is raised and the
needle is in its highest position.

appropriately sized spool cap. Insert the
auxiliary spool pin. Slide on a large spool cap
and a felt pad. Place the second thread on the
spool pin.
2. Pull the threads into the thread guides (A)
from back to front. Pull both threads between
the tension discs (B).
3. Thread down through the right-hand
threading slot and then upwards through the
left-hand threading slot.
4. Bring the threads from the right into the
take-up lever (C) and down in the left-hand
threading slot. Place the threads into the
lower thread guide (D). Place one thread into
the slot on the left side of the needle thread
guide (E) and the other thread into the slot
on the right side of the needle thread guide
(F). Make sure that the threads do not become
twisted together.
5. Thread the needles.
