Needle
threader
Make sure the take-up lever is at it's highest point. This puts the hole of the
needle in the proper place. With your left hand, put a finger on top of the white
lever that sticks out to the left and press down until it moves all the way down.
Push back on it gently so the "lips" of the threader
will be around the needle and the pin in the threader should enter
the hole of the needle. I
can actually hear mine clicking into the hole.
Keep holding the tab to the back and with your right hand, take the thread tail
under the metal hook on the left side and under the lips of the threader and
hold the thread tail to the back right a bit.
Slowly pull the white lever towards you so it grabs the thread and pulls the
thread loop through the needle and then slowly release the lever.
Sometimes the pin is bent and can't align properly with the needle. So, take
a magnifying glass and make sure yours is straight. If you can't straighten it,
take it to the dealer and have them do it. It should be an easy fix for them.
The trick is to move the lever slowly both going towards the needle and away
from the needle. Jerky motions cause problems.
