Threading

The threading routes will change according to
the selected program.
As you learn to thread your machine, we recommend
using the threads of the same colors as that of the
tension dials. This will help you understand the
function of each thread.
Tension settings of programs are based on sewer
using polyester or a polyester/cotton blend threads
for all threading positions. Choose good quality
threads of even and consistent thickness.
NOTE:
The threads are stretched as they pass through the
tension discs while sewing. Therefore, it is important
to use high tensile threads such as polyester or
polyester/cotton blend. A 100% cotton thread is too
R
weak and will result in threads breaking.
IMPORTANT:
Locate the threading diagram for the stitch, study
the threading guides carefully and use each guide
indicated. The machine must be threaded in the
correct sequence. Follow the sequence shown on
the Quick Reference Threading Charts. (See pages
38-58.)

Thread Guide Bar

Extend the thread guide pole to its highest position.
(See page 14.)
When threading the thread guide bar, use either the
slot or the hole depending on type of the threads
used. Threading the hole is the recommended
method especially when sewing with decorative
threads.

w Hole
Some tightly twisted threads need special threading
through both the hole and slot.
