DIRECTIONS FOR THREADING
Place the spool on spool pin, take the thread in your left
hand holding it taut with the right during the whole threading
operation. Pass

of face and down
under
point L;
now pull thread

passes through
the eye of spring
N and into notch

of t a k e-u p P,
t h e n d o w n
through slot R in
end of needle bar
and through eye
of needle from
left to right, al­
lowing about 3"
of thread when
take-up is at its highest point.
To draw up the lower thread,
raise the presser-foot, take hold
of end of upper thread and turn
the hand-wheel once around,
(moving upper side of wheel from
you) which will draw the lower
thread up through needle hole.
Pass the ends of both threads
under the presser-foot and you
will be ready to sew.
Note.—Do not run the machine with
the presser-foot down on the feed with-
oat cloth under it. Do not pull cloth to
or from you in such a manner as to bend
needle.
