Threading a sewing machine may seem daunting, especially if you’re new to sewing. However, with a few simple steps,
you’ll be able to thread your Lil Sew And Sew machine like a pro in no time.
Step 1: Preparing the machine
Before you start threading, make sure the sewing machine is turned off and unplugged. This will prevent any
accidents and ensure your safety during the process.
Step 2: Winding the bobbin
The bobbin is a small spool that holds the lower thread. Follow these steps to wind the bobbin:
- Place the thread spool on the designated spool pin on top of the machine.
- Guide the thread through the bobbin winder tension disc, usually located on the top left-hand side of the
machine. - Take the loose end of the thread and wind it around the bobbin a couple of times.
- Place the bobbin onto the bobbin winder pin, usually located on the right-hand side of the machine.
- Push the bobbin winder to the right until it clicks and engages.
- Press the foot pedal or start button to begin winding the bobbin. Make sure to stop when it’s about 80% full.
- Remove the bobbin from the bobbin winder pin and cut the thread.
Step 3: Threading the machine
Now it’s time to thread the upper part of the sewing machine:
- Take the spool of thread and place it on the designated spool pin on top of the machine.
- Find the thread guide, usually located at the top left-hand side of the machine. Pass the thread through it.
- Guide the thread through the upper tension discs, usually positioned above the needle area.
- Locate the take-up lever, usually positioned near the thread guide or on the front side of the machine. Pass
the thread through it from right to left. - Bring the thread down to the thread guide, usually located on the front side of the needle.
- Finally, thread the needle from front to back. You can use a needle threader if needed.
Congrats! You have successfully threaded your Lil Sew And Sew sewing machine. Now you’re ready to start stitching
your sewing projects with ease and confidence!
Remember, practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get it right. Happy sewing!
