Needle Threader; Threading For Twin Needle - Pfaff Passport 2.0 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.
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 thread into the right thread guide (A)
from front to back and the left thread guide (B)
from back to front. Pull both threads between
the tension discs (C).
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 (D) and down in the left-hand threading
slot. Place the threads into the lower thread
guide (E). Place one thread into the slot on the
left side of the needle thread guide (F) and the
other thread into the slot on the right side of
the needle thread guide (G). Make sure that the
threads do not become twisted together.
5. Thread the needles.
Note: The weight and irregular surface of specialty threads,
like metallics, can cause increased tension on the thread.
Reducing the tension will prevent needle breakage.

Note: When you are using a twin needle, you might need to
reduce the stitch width to prevent damage of the twin needle,
stitch plate or presser foot. How much you need to reduce it
depends on the stitch position, the stitch width and/or the size
of the twin needle.
