Upper Threading

In this section, the procedures for positioning the spool for the upper thread and threading the needle are
described.
CAUTION
● When threading the upper thread,
carefully follow the instructions. If the
upper threading is not correct, the thread
may become tangled and the needle may
bend or break.
● The needle threader can be used with
sewing machine needles 75/11 through
100/16.
● Use appropriate thread and needle
combinations. For details on appropriate
needle and thread combinations, refer to
"Needle types and their uses" (page 38).
● Thread with a thickness of 130/20 or
thicker cannot be used with the needle
threader.
● The needle threader cannot be used with
the wing needle or the twin needle.
● If the needle threader cannot be used,
refer to "Threading the needle manually
(without using the needle threader)"
(page 33).
