Singer's products consist of various types of sewing machines, ranging from sewing machines for beginners to sophisticated high-tech overlocking machines and other sewing machines used by professional tailors or those who love to sew. Sewing machines that are commonly used every day are generally equipped with a thread guide on the top of the machine that will determine how you thread the thread. This article provides instructions for threading a machine with two thread guides and one thread guide.
Step
Step 1. Determine the type of sewing machine you have
The most common Singer sewing machines, regardless of year of manufacture, always have thread guides in the following categories:
- A sewing machine with two thread guides: usually a small metal hook and a long plastic stick at the top of the machine. The thread must be threaded through this hook and stick and then down and into the eye of the needle.
- Sewing machines with one thread guide only have one metal hook at the top of the machine.
Method 1 of 3: Threading the Machine with Two Thread Guides
Step 1. Turn off your sewing machine first
Make sure there is no electricity in the sewing machine before you start threading. If the machine is still running, you may be injured or the machine may be damaged during threading.
Step 2. Raise the machine needle to its highest position
Grasp the top wheel and slowly turn it toward you to raise the needle of the machine.
Step 3. Lift the suture presser foot
Hold the small stick by the side of the machine and lift the sewing presser foot so that the thread can be attached to the specific points that the machine must pass.
Step 4. Attach the sewing thread to the thread spool
There are machines with vertical thread spools and there are also horizontal ones. Regardless of the position, attach the thread securely to the thread spool.
Step 5. Pull the thread towards the first thread guide
First, hook the thread in the slit at the bottom of the first thread guide and then hook in the slit at the top. Guide the thread to the right and then pull it away from the first thread guide.
Step 6. Hook the thread on the second thread guide
Pull the thread to the right through the bottom of the second guide while threading the thread from the bottom up. After that, pull the thread slowly so that it is firmly attached.
Step 7. Hook the thread on the thread tensioner
Guide the thread to the thread clamp and slide it between the two thread tensioning plates.
Step 8. Thread the thread in the hole in the thread lifting lever
Hook the thread on the hook and thread it into the hole at the top of the thread lift lever so that the thread that is already attached doesn't slip out again.
Step 9. Attach the thread to the thread hook that is above the needle
This little hook will keep the thread tension. Some sewing machines use more than one hook over the needle to maintain thread tension.
Step 10. Thread the machine needle
When threading the needle, thread the thread from front to back.
Method 2 of 3: Threading the Machine with One Thread Guide
Step 1. Turn off your sewing machine first
Unplug the power cord so that the sewing machine cannot be turned on during threading.
Step 2. Raise the machine needle until it is in the topmost position
Grasp the top wheel and turn it toward you until the needle can't go any higher.
Step 3. Lift the suture presser foot
Grasp the small lever on the side of the suture presser and lift it.
Step 4. Attach the thread to the thread spool
If your machine's spool is horizontal, attach a brace to the end of this pole to prevent the spool from slipping. If the position of this pole is vertical, just put the thread on this pole.
Step 5. Pull the thread towards the thread guide
Pull the thread to the left over the thread guide and hook it from under the small hook. After that, pull the thread again through the gap like a keyhole.
Step 6. Hook the thread on the thread tensioner
Guide the thread between the thread clamps and slide it between the two thread tensioning plates.
Step 7. Thread the thread into the hole in the thread lift lever
Hook the thread on the hook and thread it into the hole at the top of the thread lift lever so that the thread that is already attached doesn't slip out again.
Step 8. Attach the thread to the thread hook that is above the needle
This little hook will keep the thread tension. Some sewing machines use more than one hook over the needle to maintain thread tension.
Step 9. Thread the machine needle
When threading the needle, thread the thread from front to back.
Method 3 of 3: Start Sewing
Step 1. Lower the machine needle
Pull the end of the thread out of the needle 10-15 cm long. Holding the end of the thread you just pulled, hold the top wheel and turn it toward you until the needle goes into the bobbin housing and is out of sight.
Step 2. Raise the machine needle again
Slowly turn the top wheel until the needle returns to its highest position. Hold the thread that comes out with the needle as you raise the needle. After the needle appears again from the bottom, the bobbin thread will go up with the needle.
Step 3. Trim the yarn
Pull the top thread toward you until the bobbin thread comes out of the bobbin housing. Pull both threads under the presser foot. Move the end of the thread to the back of the presser foot and then guide the thread to the right.
