Threading The Needle Eye; Drawing Up The Bobbin Thread - Singer C440 Instruction Manual

Threading the Needle Eye
Do not lower the threader lever while machine is
operating.
NOTE: The needle threader is used for needle sizes 11/80,
14/90, and 16/100.
1. Lower the presser foot.
2. Check that the needle is raised to its highest position. If it
is not, raise needle by turning the handwheel toward you.
3. Lower the threader slowly and draw thread through thread
guide (a) and pull toward the right.
4. Push the lever as far as it will go. The threader will turn
and the hook pin will go through the needle eye.
5. Draw the thread into the guide, making sure it is under the
hook pin.
6. Hold thread loosely and swing back the lever.
As the threader rotates back, the hook pin will pass
through the needle eye, forming a loop of thread.
7. Pull thread out about 10 cm (4 inches) through the needle
eye.
Drawing Up the Bobbin Thread
This machine can start to sew without drawing up the bobbin
thread. If you want to start sewing with longer bobbin thread,
draw up the bobbin thread as follows.
1. Insert the bobbin into the bobbin holder as shown on page
18, but do not cut thread.
2. Raise the presser foot.
3. Hold upper thread loosely and turn handwheel toward you
one complete revolution.
4. Pull upper thread lightly. Bobbin thread will come up in a
loop.
5. Place both the upper thread and the bobbin thread about
10 cm (4 inches) toward the back of presser foot.
6. Replace the bobbin cover. (See page 18)
