Threading; General Threading Information - Pfaff hobbylock 2.5 Owner's Manual

General threading information

A color coded diagram is located inside the front cover for quick
reference. Always start threading the upper looper, followed by
the lower looper and then the needles from right to left.
See the table below for recommendations on what needles and
thread to use for different fabric weights.
Tip: Your new machine is threaded to sew a standard overlock. Tie
your own threads to these threads and carefully pull them through the
machine, to easily thread your new overlock machine the fi rst time.
Re-threading if a thread breaks
If the two loopers are not threaded in the correct order they
will not create a stitch. If a looper thread breaks always do the
following:
1. Unthread the needle(s)
2. Unthread the loopers
3. Thread the upper looper
4. Thread the lower looper
5. Thread the needle(s) from right to left
The following pages give you detailed step by step instructions on

threading.
