The thread passes through the eye of the needle.

Note

• When using thread that quickly winds off the 

spool, such as metallic thread, it may be dif-
ficult to thread the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, 
pull out about 80 mm (approx. 3 inches) of 
thread after passing it through the thread 
guide disks (marked “7”).

pressed, the presser foot will be automati-
cally lowered. After threading is finished, the 
presser foot moves back to the position 
before the “Automatic Threading” button 
was pressed.
