How do you thread a self-threading sewing machine?

Published in Sewing Machine Threading 2 mins read

The provided reference doesn't detail self-threading mechanics. However, the reference describes steps for threading a sewing machine needle, likely as the final step for the auto-threading mechanism, assuming a self-threading machine also includes the rest of the threading path. Here's how to do the final step as shown in the video referenced:

Threading the Needle After the Automatic Threading Mechanism

Most self-threading machines use a mechanism to automatically guide the thread through the upper part of the machine. The final step is usually threading the needle, which is described in the reference as follows:

  1. Guide the Thread: After the automatic threading mechanism has engaged, take the thread and guide it under a small plastic hook.
  2. Pass the Needle's Eye: Bring the thread right past the eye of the needle.
  3. Release and Loop: Release the thread. The loop of thread should spring into the eye of the needle or with a slight push.

Example Step-by-Step (Final Step)

Step Action Description
1 Hook Guidance Lead the thread under the small plastic hook located close to the needle.
2 Needle Alignment Guide the thread directly past the needle eye, ensuring the thread is positioned to thread itself as described in the final step.
3 Release and Assist Release the thread to allow the automatic function to loop it through. A gentle nudge may be needed.

Important Note: The process of getting the thread to the point where it's ready for these final steps varies by the specific self-threading machine. Follow the instructions provided by your machine's manufacturer. The instructions above focus on the final thread engagement with the needle.
