How to Thread Singer Sewing Machine
Model-to-model variation exists in the threading of a machine’s top. Check your sewing machine’s instruction manual for precise information on your particular machine’s operation. When it comes to threading the top of your machine, there are a few fundamental guidelines to bear in mind:
- Inspect to ensure that the sewing thread is correctly positioned in the machine’s take-up lever.
- Make use of a spool cover to help prevent the thread from being entangled in any imperfections that may exist on the thread spool itself. If your machine model comes with a variety of spool caps in various sizes, choose the spool cap that is the closest match to the size of the thread spool that will be utilized.
- Before you begin sewing, double-check that you are using the proper size and kind of needle for the cloth you are stitching. The use of the incorrect size or kind of needle might cause your thread to shred or break completely.

Threading using SwiftSmart
Before threading, make careful to elevate the presser foot lifter and the needle all the way to the top.
1. Use your left hand to thread the machine while holding the thread in your right. Leave a 4″ (10 cm) gap between your thread and the thread guide on the needle bar while pulling it toward you.
2. Attach the twin thread guide to the hook thread.
3. To cut and secure the thread, carefully pull it into the thread cutter/holder. After threading, take careful not to remove the thread from the needle hole by pulling it too hard.
4. The threading lever may be lowered to its lowest point until the twin thread guide revolves and comes to a complete halt. Make sure the guide doesn’t come into contact with any fabric, etc.
5. After pressing the threading lever down one or twice, the needle will be threaded for you. Try slowly raising the threading lever if it does not return to its initial position.
6. Pull the thread loop away from you. If the needle isn’t threaded properly, go back to the beginning and try again.
Configuration in its Basic Form
Assembling my Machine by Threading It
1. Disconnect the power.
2. Rotate the hand wheel toward you to raise the needle to its highest point.
3. Raise the foot of the presser.
4. In order to avoid tangling, slip the spool pin cap/holder over the rim of the spool before threading horizontally. Spool pin should be raised and felt and thread placed on spool pin for vertical threading.
5. As a lead thread passes through the lower thread guide slot, it is pushed into the thread guide’s upper slot. The thread then passes through the higher slot, circling around to the right. Thread the thread guide with the new thread.
6. In step 6a, put the thread from the bottom over the top of the second thread guide by guiding it right and under the guide. Holding two thread ends in each hand, snap the top thread guide into place.
7. Thread the thread through the tension mechanism and down the thread. Using your left hand, gently draw the thread up and into the tension discs while keeping your right hand on the spool.
Guide thread into threading channel by following arrows and ensuring that thread is put into tension discs as instructed in step.
8. Thread the lever eye of the take-up device. It is easy to thread the take-up lever since it is slotted. Pull about 6″ to 8″ of the thread down from the top.
9) Pull the thread through the thread guide(s) located above the needle and tighten it.
10. Thread needle from front to back.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
How do you thread a sewing machine’s top and bottom parts?
Hold the end of the upper thread in your left hand about 15–20 cm distant from the needle to draw the bottom thread up. This will allow you to bring the lower thread up. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise with your right hand until the needle drops down, and then back up again. Do this while holding the thread. Now give the thread end a little tug, and you’ll see that it rises to the top, carrying the lower thread with it.
What is the best thread to use for threading?
It should be around 35 centimeters or 14 inches long.
If you use sewing thread with a high cotton content, you won’t have to worry about your eyebrow hairs becoming caught in the thread and falling out. Higher-cotton thread, as opposed to synthetic thread, often has a stronger ability to cling to hair. When it comes to threading, the greatest tool to employ is thread.
What kind of thread is the most durable for sewing?
Because it has a high strength to weight ratio, nylon is one of the strongest threads that can be purchased. Because of this, it is an excellent option for sewing materials like leather, vinyl, and upholstery.
What length does the thread need to be for sewing?
When doing any kind of hand stitching, the thread has to be between 45 and 80 centimeters in length (18-32 in). It is not a good idea to use a thread that is too short because you will have to replace it often, and it is also not a good idea to use a thread that is too long because it will kink or get caught.
