Using the Automatic Needle Threader
The needle threader allows you to thread the needle
automatically by simply touching a button.
Make sure that the needle is inserted correctly and
pushed up all the way into the needle clamp before
using the automatic needle threader. Check that the
needle is not damaged or bent, and make sure to
match the thread weight and needle size according to
our recommendations in Selecting Correct Thread/
Needle Combination, page 37.
1. Place the thread under the hook (A) and pull it
between the discs (B) until it "clicks" into place.
2. Pull the thread up to the sewing head thread cutter
and cut excess thread by pulling the thread from
back to front in the thread cutter (C).
3. Touch the automatic needle threader button. The
presser foot is automatically lowered during the
threading sequence, and will rise again when
threading is finished.
The needle threader is designed to be used with needles size 70-120. You cannot use the needle threader with needles
size 65 or smaller, wing needles, twin needles or triple needles.
Specialty threads such as invisible and other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads, and some heavy weight
threads may not be caught correctly by the hook on the automatic needle threader. If this happens, the needle will not
be threaded. Try using the automatic needle threader again or thread the needle manually.
When threading the needle manually, make sure that the needle is threaded from front to back.
The automatic needle threader cannot be used with all optional accessories available for your creative icon™ machine.
To avoid damage to the needle threader and/or optional accessory we recommend using the automatic needle threader
before attaching the accessory or thread the needle manually.
