Threading Loopers with the Looper Threading
Wire or Standard Thread
If the looper threads are made from materials that are
difficult to thread, such as wooly nylon, there are 2
ways to thread the looper threads:
• Use the looper threading wire (looper threader)
• Tie the thread to standard thread, which you then
use to thread.
CAUTION
Turn the power switch OFF before threading the
machine.
CAUTION
Do not raise or lower the looper thread lever while
threading.
