Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Threading a sewing machine can be difficult at first. Once you learn how, though, the whole process will take you only a few seconds.
Instructions
* STEP 1: Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you.
* STEP 2: Raise the presser foot. This will allow the thread to easily pass through the threading points and will prevent the machine needle from becoming unthreaded when you begin to stitch.
* STEP 3: Place a spool of thread on the spool pin located at the top of your sewing machine. If the spool pin runs horizontally, secure the spool of thread with the cap provided.
* STEP 4: Take hold of the thread end and pass it through the designated threading points on the top of the machine casing, then down toward the tension assembly. The tension assembly is located on the left side of the machine and controls the flow of thread.
* STEP 5: Take the thread under the tension assembly and back up through the next threading point at the top left of the machine. Make sure the thread has passed between two tension discs as well as the hook that may be attached to the left side of the tension dial.
* STEP 6: Push the thread end through the lever at the top left of the machine, if applicable, and down through the threading points at bottom left and above the needle.
* STEP 7: Thread the needle from the front or back of the needle. The threading direction will depend on your machine type.
* STEP 8: Pull a few inches of thread through the eye of the needle and pull the thread to your left.
* STEP 9: Insert a wound bobbin into the machine, if necessary, and close the throat plate. A few inches of bobbin thread should be pulled out to the right and sticking out from under the closed throat plate.
* STEP 10: Take hold of the thread that has been threaded through the machine needle.
* STEP 11: Rotate the handwheel toward you until the needle disappears into the bobbin case.
* STEP 12: Keep holding on to the thread and move the handwheel so the needle is once again at its highest position. As the needle rises, a loop of bobbin thread will come up as well.
* STEP 13: Pull the thread out toward your left to draw the bobbin thread loop further out of the bobbin case.
* STEP 14: Let the top thread go and pull the bobbin thread up until the end comes up. Pull the top and bottom threads under the presser foot and to the back and right of the machine.
Tips & Warnings
* Each style and model of sewing machine has its own requirements for threading. Use the instructions given here along with those provided with your machine. The owner's manual will usually include a threading diagram.
* Some styles of sewing machine have the threading points marked or may even have a threading diagram printed on the machine itself.
* Detailed instructions on winding and inserting the bobbin for a specific machine can be found in the machine owner's manual.
* Change the bobbin thread color when the thread spool color is changed.
IF I WERE YOU, I'D FIND THE 800 NUMBER FOR BROTHER AND CALL THEM. I'M SURE THEY COULD SEND YOU INSTRUCTIONS. GOOD LUCK.
#9 MOST COMMON PROBLEM:
OILING
There is a great deal of confusion as to whether, where, what with, and how much to oil Bernina machines. Your owner’s manual is indispensable in this regard. It not only tells you where and how much to oil, but also which oil to use.
First, a word about the oil itself. The safest oil to use is that which came with the machine, or that which can be purchased from a dealer. Bernina oil should say “Bernina” on the tube. If you have any doubts, for instance if you have purchased a used machine and the oil is suspect, it’s probably a good idea to throw that oil out and get some more. Bernina oil is very light in viscosity, and is almost clear.
The area that is most critical to oil is between the shuttle and the shuttle race. (See owners manual) Oil this about every second time the machine is used for any length of time. Just a half drop will do.
Over-oiling just makes a mess. It’s also a good idea to oil the pin on the shuttle that the bobbin case fits over, and a little on the bobbin case latch.
Having said the above about the type of oil, I will say that I personally have used Singer brand oil (found at any Wal-mart) with good results. “Three-in-One” oil or any kind of motor or vegetable oil should NOT be used on sewing machines at all. I have seen machines virtually ruined with the wrong kind of oil.
#3 MOST COMMON PROBLEM:
BURRED OR BLUNTED SHUTTLE POINT
A “burred” or blunted shuttle pont produces a variety of symptoms. There may be occasional or irregular skipping of some of the stitches. Or, the thread may periodically shred or even break. Sometimes there will be small loops of thread on the underside of the fabric.
The “shuttle point” refers to the area on the shuttle pictured below that is directly behind the needle. It is literally sharply pointed in order to pick up the thread loop as the shuttle passes behind the needle. Because of the close tolerances of the Bernina, or due to using “knit” needles like the Singer Yellow Band, or excessive pulling on the fabric as you sew, sometimes the sharp point becomes burred, blunted or even bent. This causes the thread to hang on the shuttle rather than passing smoothly around it. The problem can sometimes be detected with the naked eye, but a surer method is to stroke the shuttle point top, bottom, and sides with your finger. Any burr or roughness will quickly be detected.
If a rough spot is detected, usually it can be smoothed, saving the considerable expense of a new shuttle. I use a Dremel tool with a rubber wheel but extreme care must be taken to not blunt the shuttle point or change the basic shape. A safer method is to use 600 grit or finer sandpaper, rubbing lightly in the same direction of the shuttle point.
