1. Raise thread spindle by pulling it upward until it’s fully extended.
2. Place thread spool on the thread spindle. (for bobbin spindle: pull out the spindle
and guide it through the hole in the bobbin and replace the spindle)
3. Pull the thread from the spool through the first thread guide (1) in the direction
toward front of machine.
4. Bring thread across to the second thread guide (2). Thread goes over the tension
adjusting screw and must be positioned between the 2 washers behind the
tension adjusting screw. This is what provides the lock stitch tension to the
thread.
5. Pull thread from the tension adjusting screw guide through thread guide (3).
6. Pull thread toward thread guide (4) through the take up lever hole.
7. Pull thread down to thread guide (5) and insert thread from the top downward.
8. Pull thread downward through thread guide. If necessary, lower the needle to
reach this thread guide by turning the hand wheel slightly counter-clockwise to
lower the needle.
9. Insert thread through eye (6) of the needle from the front towards the back of
the machine (use the included threader if necessary).
10. Raise the presser foot by lifting up on the lever at the rear of the machine
11. Pull about 10 inches of thread through the needle and leave it on the deck under
the presser foot towards the back of the machine.
1. Remove bobbin cover and place the bobbin with thread of your choice in the
bobbin holder leaving about 10 inches of thread extended out from the bobbin
holder and replace the cover.
2. Turn hand wheel counterclockwise (towards you). The needle will go down,
picking up the bobbin thread. Turn hand wheel until needle has descended
completely and came up again to its highest raised point.
3. Raise the presser foot and bring the spool thread around to the front. Pull it
gently up and you will see it has caught the bobbin thread. Pull the two threads
towards the back (away from you) and lay them under the presser foot.
Note: make sure that the machine was threaded properly, before you begin to sew.
Note: The machine comes pre-threaded; take a minute to review how it’s done to make it easier
when you do it yourself.
