Threading Specialty Threads

When sewing with specialty threads (such as wooly nylon), it can be easier to thread the loopers using the looper threading wire
or a standard overlock thread.
Before threading:
Note: Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
Set the Threading/Sewing lever in "Threading" position by
sliding it to the left.
Turn the handwheel slowly toward you until it clicks and the
loopers are locked in threading position.
Thread the looper threads up to the front of the looper
threading hole.
Once the loopers are threaded:
Set the Threading/Sewing switch to "Sewing" position.
Pull 4˝ (10 cm) of the thread under the toe of the foot, and
back between the presser foot and the upper cutter.
Close the front cover and lower the presser foot.
Using the Looper Threading Wire
Note: Do not push the threading button when using the threading wire.
Take the looper threading wire and push the straight end (not
the loop end) through the looper threader hole until it comes
out from the hole of the looper tip (A).
Pass approximately 2˝ (5 cm) of thread through the loop of
the looper threading wire (B).
Carefully pull the end of the looper threading wire until the
thread comes out from the hole of the looper tip (C).
Remove the thread from the looper threading wire.
Using a Standard Thread
Prepare 12˝ (30 cm) of a standard thread and tie it 2˝ (5 cm)
from the end of the looper thread as shown (A).
Note: When tying the standard thread to the looper thread, tie a knot
as small as possible and cut any excess standard thread.
Using the tweezers, insert the end of the thread 1˝ (2 cm) or
more into the looper threading hole (B).
Push the Threading Button to thread the looper (C).
Make sure that the thread comes out from the hole of the
looper tip. Carefully pull the standard thread until the knot is
about to go into the looper threader hole.
Then fold the loose end of the specialty thread as illustrated
(D). Continue pulling the standard thread until the specialty
thread is pulled through the threading channel and is
threaded through the hole in the looper tip (E).
