4. THREADING UP THE SPOOL THREAD
Again the routing of the spool thread is a little different on the different models of machine so follow the instruction in your manual exactly on how to route the thread. On some machines I’ve seen it’s tempting to skip routing the thread through a particular place because it’s difficult or maybe the manual’s picture of how to do it isn’t clear. Don’t! give in to the temptation. Many of the problems I had in the beginning were because I didn’t have the thread routed correctly. If you can’t tell how to do it from the manual, you can ask for help at the store where the machine was purchased, call or write the company, or ask at a sewing machine service center. All the manuals I have seen have been pretty good, but you still may need to spend some time studying it out. The thread will be routed through several guides. These keep the thread out of your way and keep it headed in the right direction as it zips along toward the needle. . The thread also goes part way around a post, between a pair of flared edge washers, with a dial on the front. This it the spool thread tension adjustment. This routing is very critical. On the head of the machine, in the front, there is a little metal arm with a hole in. This arm moves up and down as the machine works. Be sure the t read passes through this hole in the proper direction. This is usually right to left as you face the front of the machine so the thread goes into this hole on the same side as the thread is coming from the tension adjustment. After a couple more guides you’ll thread the needle. Again, give your self extra thread, the bobbin thread and the needle thread should be about the same length, laid out on the plate behind the needle for four or five inches. Now your machine is threaded. Next comes adjustments and practice.
