If your sewing machine has an automatic needle threader, you can insert the thread into the small hole at the bottom of the needle from front to back by hand. The thread needs to be drawn under the presser foot. If you are using a machine that does not have an automatic threading mechanism, you will need to manually thread your needle through the hole in the machine.

What are the steps in threading the upper part of the sewing machine?
If you want to set up the upper thread on your machine, first place a spool of thread on your machine’s thread pin. You can thread through the guide. To thread it through the thread guide, pull the thread to the left of your machine. If you are using a lathe, you will need to use the same method to thread your spools.
Why is my bobbin thread not catching?
– Check to see if your upper tension is too tight. If your thread is too tight for the needle to pick up the bobbin thread, it could be caught on something between the needle and your spool of thread. If you don’t, you will not be able to get the thread to the right tension. – You may have to adjust the tension of your tensioner a little bit.
You can do this by using a small screwdriver to loosen and tighten a screw on the back side of the machine. This will allow you to tighten the screw slightly more or less depending on how tight you want your machine to be. It is also a good idea to make sure that you are not using too much thread tension, as this can cause the spools to come out of alignment.
Do you need upper and lower thread to sew?
Sewing machines need an upper and a lower thread to form the stitches. Underneath the presser foot, there is a small bobbin that holds the lower thread. Depending on the model of your sewing machine, the mechanism for winding the bobbin may be different.
If you are using a machine that does not have the upper thread, you will need to use a needle that has the same thread number as the needle used to sew the garment. For example, if your machine has a 1/2″ needle and you want to stitch a garment with a 3/4″, you would use the 3″ thread.
Where does the bottom bobbin thread go?
The thread from the bobbin is also present. It is located at the bottom of the sewing machine. There is a thread through the needle plate. The thread goes through the needle’s hole in the plate and out the other side. If you don’t have a threading machine, you can make your own thread. You’ll need a pair of needle-nose pliers, a small flat-head screwdriver, some thread and a needle. The thread should be about 1/4 inch in diameter and about 3/8 inch long.
If you’re not sure how much thread you need, use a ruler to measure the diameter of your needle, then use that to figure out how long you want your thread to be. For example, if you’ve got a 1-1/2-inch needle and want to thread it to a 4-by-4-foot sheet of plywood, that would be 4 inches of thread, so you’d need 4 threads.
What should you not do with a sewing machine?
When you are not sewing, do not rest your foot on the foot pedal as it will heat up and damage the machine. Small parts can get lost if the accessories box is not left lying around. The machine should be fed at its own pace.
Where does the spool of the thread go?
The thread stand should be near the end of the machine. It can be placed close to the right side or the back. The thread guide is near the horizontal pin on the machine. If you are using a threaded rod, you will need to thread the rod through the hole in the stand.
If you do not have a hole drilled in your stand, then you can use a piece of scrap wood to make one. Thread the wood into the threaded hole, and then thread it through another hole. This will allow you to use the same rod in both holes.
What is a thread guide?
In a sewing machine, a loop or an eye is used to guide the thread when it is necessary to change the direction at any point between the needle and the spool.
