threading your sewing machine
Like all sewing machines that produce
what is called a "lockstitch", your se
wing machine sews with two threads.
The upper thread comes from the spool
and is threaded through the eye of the
needle. The lower thread comes from
bobbin, the small transparent spool
that you wind using the machine. It is
best to wind the bobbin before the
needle.
THE SPOOL HOLDER
• Remove spool holder from spindle by
sliding it to the left.
•
Place spool of thread on horizontal
spool pin. If spool being used has a
retaining slit, this should be placed
against the spool cushion on the right.
• Select correct spool holder according to
type and diameter of the end of the
spool being used. The diameter of the
end of the spool holder should always
be larger than that of the spool itself.
• Press spool holder
firmly
against spool.
