Upper Threading

The machine should be turned off during threading.

Raise up the presser foot lever, then raise the needle by turning the handwheel towards you (counterclockwise) so that the mark on the wheel points at upward direction. The sewing machine cannot be threaded if the needle is not properly raised.

Pull up the spool pin (in some models) insert a spool of thread to it.

While holding the thread from the spool with the help of right hand, pass the thread in the groove on the thread guide towards your direction. Be sure that the spring present in the groove catches the thread.

Guide the thread through the thread-take-up lever from right to left. The upper thread cannot be wrapped around the thread-take-up lever if it is lowered, therefore first raise the needle by turning the handwheel counterclockwise that is towards you.

Pass the thread behind the Needle bar thread guide. Next thread the needle from front to back leaving a tai; of thread (some machines are equipped with a needle threader).
