4 Threading
General Threading Information
Inside the front cover, there is a chart showing how to thread
the loopers (A) and also a stitch overview (B).
The threading paths are color coded, to make the threading
easier. Always start threading from left to right. See the Stitch
Overview, page 36, for a detailed description of what
threading paths and settings to use for each stitch.
When a stitch is selected, you can also find necessary
information on threading paths and settings on the info tabs
on the display.
Your machine is equipped with an "Air Threading System"
for fast, easy threading of the upper, lower, and chain loopers.
All three loopers can be threaded at the same time, with one
push on the "threading button". The loopers are threaded
automatically.
Even if the loopers can be threaded at the same time, the
threading descriptions on the following pages will show the
threading of the loopers separately.
Note: Always raise the presser foot before threading.
See the table below for recommendations on what needles
and thread to use for different fabric weights.
