Threading The Needle; Needle Threader - Pfaff 2144 Instruction Manual

2-8

Threading the needle

Raise the presser foot. Place the thread on the spool pin
and fit a spool cap of the right size.
Using both hands, pull the thread into the thread guide (A)
from front to back. Place the thread from the right under-
neath the bobbin winder thread guide (B).
Now pass it through the left-hand threading slot down-
wards.
Pull the thread around the stop (C) in the right-hand threa-
ding slot and upwards to the take-up lever (F). The thread
must be pulled fully into the take-up lever from left to right.
Pass the thread downwards in the right-hand threading
slot.
Pull the thread from the side behind one of the two thread
guides (D).
To thread the needle, please refer to the next section.
Note: When sewing always place the thread underneath
the bobbin winder thread guide (B).

Needle threader

In order to make threading of the needle easier and quicker
the Pfaff needle threader is built-in. The needle threader
allows you to thread the needle automatically.
1. Lower the presser foot. Press the threader down with
the handle. The threader hook (R) swivels through the
needle eye.
2. Place the thread from the back, over the hook (O) and
under the thread hook (R) and hold the end of the
thread taut. Reduce the pressure so that the needle
threader slowly moves upwards.
3. At the same time, the threader hook swivels out of the
needle eye and pulls the thread through the eye. Slightly
release the end of the thread, so that a thread loop can
form behind the needle. Release the threader and pull
the rest of the thread end through the needle eye.
