indicated in Fig. 15. Draw four or more inches of
thread through eyelet in threading wire and pass
threaded wire through required threading tube.
NEEDLE THREAD: Before passing needle thread
(see double line) through its threading tube, turn
machine pulley over toward you until needle is
at its lowest position.
Observe the correct position and method of
threading needle thread eyelet as shown m
Fig. 16.
After
threading needle thread eyelet, raise
needle to its highest position and pass the thread
from front to rear through needle eye.
When
threading needle, double back the end
of the thread and twist it; making thread stiff
enough to thread the needle eye easily.
