You do not need to pull the bobbin thread up before you start
sewing.
Note
Always raise the presser foot before removing the upper thread from
the machine or damage may occur to the tension unit.
CAUTION
The needle threader lever can not be used to thread
the needle when you are using decorative threads or
specialty needles like the twin needle and wing nee-
dle. When using those types of threads or needles,
thread the eye of the needle manually. Make sure
the main power switch is OFF when threading the
needle manually.
