Tug the thread until it snaps. 2 2 Draw the thread down along the right channel and around the bottom of the guide plate. 3 3 4 Pull the thread up along the left channel to the thread take-up lever. Firmly draw the thread up to the take-up lever and down into its eye from the right to the left, while holding the thread at the spool. 4 5 5 Then pull the thread down along the left channel and through the lower thread guide. 2 Hold the needle thread with your finger and press the up/down needle button twice to pick up the bobbin thread. 3 3 Draw up the needle thread to bring up a loop of the bobbin thread. 4 4 Slide 10 cm (4") of both threads to the back under the presser foot. 14 Changing Needles CAUTION: Always make sure to turn the power switch off and disconnect the machine from power supply before changing the needle. Raise the needle by pressing the up/down needle button and lower the presser foot. Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with the flat side of the needle to the rear. When inserting the needle into the needle clamp, push it up against the stopper pin and tighten the needle clamp screw firmly with a screwdriver. To check needle straightness, place the flat side of the needle onto something flat (a needle plate, glass etc. ) The gap between the needle and the flat surface should be consistent.

This helps you to place the layers of thick fabrics or embroidery hoops under the foot. Knee Lifter 1 2 The knee lifter is extremely helpful when sewing patchwork, quilting etc, since it allows you to handle the fabric while your knee controls the presser foot. Attaching the knee lifter Match the ribs on the knee lifter with the notches in the knee lifter socket and insert the knee lifter. 1 Knee lifter 2 Knee lifter socket Adjusting the knee lifter The angle of knee lifter can be adjusted to fit your knee. Loosen the setscrew and slide the angle bar in or out to adjust the angle of the knee lifter. 3 Setscrew 4 Angle bar Using the knee lifter Push the knee lifter with your knee to easily move the presser foot up and down. You can control how high the foot rises by the amount of knee pressure you exert. 4 NOTE: Do not touch the knee lifter while stitching, otherwise the fabric will not be fed smoothly. 3 16 Removing and Attaching the Presser Foot WARNING: Turn the power switch off before changing the presser foot. Removing the presser foot Raise the needle to its highest position and raise the presser foot lifter. Attaching the presser foot Place the presser foot you wish to use so that the pin on the foot lies just under the groove of the foot holder. Button sewing foot T Insert the rear pin on the foot into the groove of the foot holder. Gently lower the presser bar while holding the foot with your fingers.
