Threading The Needle - Brother 885-U20 Operation Manual

Threading the needle

This section describes how to thread the needle.
Note
● 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 26).
1 Pull the end of the thread, which has been
passed through the needle bar thread guide,
to the left, then pass the thread through the
notch of the thread guide 1, and then firmly
pull the thread from the front and insert it into
the slit of the thread guide disk marked "7" all
the way 2. Make sure that the thread passes
the notch of the thread guide.

Note
● If the thread is pulled through and cannot
be cut correctly, lower the presser foot so
that the thread is held in place before
cutting the thread. If this operation is

performed, skip step
● When using thread that quickly winds off the
spool, such as metallic thread, it may be
difficult to thread the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter,
pull out about 80 mm (approx. 3 inches) of
thread after passing it through the thread
guide disks (marked "7").
