Threading the upper thread

This is a simple operation, but it is important to perform it correctly, as
failure to do so could cause several different sewing problems.
Start by raising the needle to its highest point. Raise the presser foot to
release the tension discs. (1/2)
1. Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder with the
thread coming off the spool as shown. (3)
For small thread spools, use the spool holder with the smaller end
toward the spool.
2. Draw thread from the spool to the upper thread guides. (4/5)
3. Bring the thread toward you and through the two tension discs in the
top front of the machine. (6)
4. Continue downward on the right side of the large vertical thread
guide, passing under and up the left side, allowing the thread to
engage with the check spring as it passes upward. (7)
5. At the top of this movement, pass it from right to left through the
slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downward again. (8)
6. Pass behind the flat, horizontal thread guide. (9)
7. Now take the thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide and
then down to the needle, which should be threaded from front to
back. Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle
eye. (10)
