Needle Threader; Threading For Twin Needle - Pfaff ambition essential Owner's Manual

Needle threader

The needle threader allows you to thread the
needle automatically. The needle must be in its
highest position to use the built-in needle threader.
Press the needle up/down button to make sure the
needle is fully raised.
We also recommend lowering the presser foot.
1. Use the handle to pull the needle threader all
the way down. The threader hook (F) swivels
through the needle eye.
2. Place the thread from the back over the hook
(G) and under the thread hook (F).
3. Let the needle threader gently swing back. The
hook pulls the thread through the needle eye
and forms a loop behind the needle. Pull the
thread loop out behind the needle.
Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size
70-120 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for
size 60 needles or smaller, wing needles or twin needles.
There are also some optional accessories that require
manual threading of the needle.
When threading the needle manually, make sure that the
needle is threaded from front to back.

Threading for twin needle

Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle.
Make sure that the presser foot is raised and the
needle is in its highest position.
1. Place the thread on the spool pin and fi t the
appropriately sized spool cap. Insert the
auxiliary spool pin. Slide on a large spool cap
and a felt pad. Place the second thread on the
spool pin.
2. Pull the threads into the thread guides (A)
from back to front. Pull both threads between
the tension discs (B).
3. Thread down through the right-hand
threading slot and then upwards through the
left-hand threading slot.
4. Bring the threads from the right into the
take-up lever (C) and down in the left-hand
threading slot. Place the threads into the lower
thread guide (D). Place one thread into the
slot on the left side of the needle thread guide
(E) and the other thread into the slot on the
right side of the needle thread guide (F). Make
sure that the threads do not become twisted
together.
