Threading the needle

This section describes how to thread the needle.
Memo
The needle threader can be used with sewing
machine needles 75/11 through 100/16.
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 35).

thread after passing it through the thread
guide disks (marked "7").
