Threading the upper thread

In this section, the procedures for installing the spool for the upper thread and threading the needle are
described.
CAUTION
● When threading the machine, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is not performed
correctly, the thread may become tangled and the needle may bend or break.
● The needle threader can be used with sewing machine needles 75/11 through 100/16.
● Use appropriate thread and needle combinations. For details on appropriate needle and thread
combinations, refer to "Needle types and their uses" (page 30).
● Thread with a thickness of 130/20 or thicker cannot be used with the needle threader.
● The needle threader cannot be used with the wing needle or the twin needle.
● If the needle threader cannot be used, refer to "Threading the needle manually (without using the
needle threader)" (page 26).
