Threading the needle
Use the automatic needle-threading mechanism to thread the
needle.
a
Press the automatic needle-threading button.
The hook on the automatic needle-threading
mechanism passes through the eye of the needle.
b
Pull out about 15 cm (6 inches) of thread. Then, as
shown in the illustration, pass the thread under the
fork of the automatic needle-threading mechanism
from the right, and then catch the thread with the hook
that passes through the eye of the needle.
c
Pass the thread under the guide on the presser foot.
• Make sure that the thread securely passes through the
notch in the guide on the presser foot.
Note
• The automatic needle-threading mechanism can
thread one needle at the embroidering position.
When this mechanism is used, be sure that the
needle bar that you want to thread is positioned at
the embroidering position, otherwise the automatic
needle-threading mechanism cannot be used at
the particular needle. If the needle bar is not at the
embroidering position, move it there. (page 81)
CAUTION
• If the needle is not fully inserted, the hook of
the automatic needle-threading mechanism
will not pass through the eye of the needle
during automatic needle threading, and the
hook may bend or the needle cannot be
threaded.
• If the hook of the automatic needle-threading
mechanism is bent or damaged, contact your
authorized Brother dealer.
• While the hook of the automatic needle-
threading mechanism is passed through the
eye of the needle, do not rotate the
handwheel. The automatic needle-threading
mechanism may be damaged. If you turn the
handwheel, the automatic needle-threading
mechanism will return to its initial position to
avoid damage.

2 Fork
Note
• When catching the thread with the hook, be careful
that the thread does not become loose.
