1
Press the automatic needle-threading button.
X The hook on the automatic needle-
threading mechanism passes through the
eye of the needle.
Note
● To avoid the damage the automatic needle-
threading mechanism may return to the
back position when you turn the
handwheel.
● The automatic needle-threading mechanism
can thread one needle at the sewing
position. When this mechanism is used, be
sure that the needle bar that you want to
thread is positioned as the sewing position,
otherwise the automatic needle-threading
mechanism cannot be used at the particular
needle. If the needle bar is not at the sewing
position, move it there. (Refer to page 40.)

Pull out about 15 cm (6 inches) of thread.
Then, as shown in the illustration, pull the
thread through the fork of the automatic
needle-threading mechanism from the right,
and then, after pulling the thread through the
guide on the presser foot, pull the thread
through the thread cutter to cut it.

4 Thread cutter
• If enough thread is not pulled out, the thread
cannot be pulled through the thread cutter.
3
Press the automatic needle-threading button.
• The threader moves back away from the
needle. The thread is put through the eye.
• The wiper comes out and catches the thread
between the needle and the threader.
• The threader goes back to the original home
position.
This completes the upper threading for needle
bar 1.
●
While the hook of the automatic needle-
threading mechanism is passed through
the eye of the needle, do not rotate the
handwheel, otherwise the automatic
needle-threading mechanism may be
damaged.
