Threading your sewing machine correctly is essential for smooth stitching. Follow the manual’s step-by-step guide to thread the upper and lower parts accurately, ensuring proper tension. Start by turning the machine off and locating the spool pin. Place the thread spool on the pin, ensuring it rotates smoothly. Gently pull the thread through the tension discs, then guide it through the take-up lever. Next, insert the thread into the needle’s eye, leaving a small tail. Pull the thread to remove any slack, ensuring it’s not too tight or loose. This setup ensures even stitching and prevents thread breakage during sewing. Proper tension is crucial for consistent stitch quality, so always check the thread after threading. To wind the bobbin, place it on the winder and secure the thread end. Wind evenly, keeping the thread taut but not overly tight. Once full, cut the thread and remove the bobbin. Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring it seats properly. Pull the thread gently to engage the tension. Finally, place the bobbin case into the machine’s bobbin area and close the compartment. Proper installation ensures smooth stitching and prevents thread jams. Always use the correct thread type and keep the bobbin loosely wound for best results. To thread the lower section, start by inserting the thread into the bobbin case. Guide the thread under the tension spring and through the machine’s lower threading path. Gently pull the thread to ensure it is seated properly. Make sure the thread is not twisted and lies flat. Proper lower threading ensures consistent stitches and prevents thread jams. Always use the correct thread type for your fabric. If issues arise, consult your manual for troubleshooting tips. Power on the machine using the switch and adjust the speed with the foot pedal.
