HOW TO PULL UP LOWER THREAD 

1.  Raise needle and presser  

foot to the highest point.  
With left hand, hold the end  
of upper thread and with  
right hand, turn balance 
wheel toward you until the 
needle moves down and up 
again to its highest position.

you so that lower thread will 
come up in a large loop 
from the presser foot.

toes of presser foot and 
place them to the rear 
leaving about 10 cm ( 4-
