Upper Threading
(S ee F ig . 12)
Turn the balance wheel over toward you until
the thread take-up lever (5) is raised to its highest
position. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin
at the top of the machine and pass the thread to
the left through the thread guide (1) at the rear of
the face plate, down, under and from back to front
between the tension discs (2), the thread guard (L)
guiding the thread between the discs. (See insert in
Fig. 12). With the right hand hold the spool to pre­
vent it from turning, and with the left hand draw the
thread up into the take-up spring (4) until the thread
enters the retaining fork (3), then pass the thread up
and from back to front through the hole in the thread
take-up lever (5), down through the guide (6) on the
face plate, into the guide (7) on the needle clamp and
from right to left through the eye (8) of the needle.
Draw about two inches of thread through the eye
of the needle with which to commence sewing.
