Automatic Needle Threader

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 41.

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.

3. Touch the automatic needle threader button on the

sewing head. 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 DESIGNER RUBY™ 90 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.

Before using the needle threader with the Sensor One-Step

Buttonhole Foot attached, lift the wheel of the foot up to

avoid damage to the needle threader and foot.
