raised. Hold back the spool with the tip of your
finger and pass the thread as shown in the illustration,
in the following order:
1 Thread guide.
2 Universal upper tension No. 5, give the thread
a slight tug upwards.
3 Thread take-up lever—pass the thread through the
rear of the notch in the cover, from right to left,
passing it around the thread take-up lever. The
thread will slip into the opening of the thread
take-up lever. :
4 Thread guide.
5 Needle clamp. Pull the thread well into the
clamp.
6 Needle, to be threaded from front to back.

front and hold it between the left index finger
and the edge of the needle plate.

should be open and the thread take-up lever at its
elna

take-up lever and then raising it to its highest
position. Free the loop of thread completely with
your fingers.
