Note
When using thread that quickly winds off the spool,
such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread the
needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull out
about 80 mm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after
passing it through the thread guide disks (marked "7").

• The needle threader can be used with home sewing
machine needles 75/11 through 100/16. For details
on appropriate needle and thread combinations, see
"Fabric/Thread/Needle Combinations" on page 37.
• If automatic needle threading could not be
completed correctly, repeat the procedure, starting
with the needle bar thread guide (marked "6").
• Some needles cannot be threaded with the needle
threader. In this case, instead of using the needle
threader after passing the thread through the needle
bar thread guide (marked "6"), manually pass the
thread through the eye of the needle from the front.
