Introduction

If you’re new to sewing, or if your machine needs a tune-up, there are a few things that will make it easier for you to get through the threading process.

Make sure you have all the tools that you need to thread the machine.

• The needle, bobbin, and thread – are the most important parts of your sewing machine, so make sure they’re in good shape before starting work. You should also have a supply of needles and bobbins on hand as well as some thimbles or bobbin tamps (if your machine uses them). If possible, try to use new spools so that they don’t get damaged during threading. A good rule of thumb is one needle per color thread; if there’s more than one color involved then make sure each needle has its own spool!

• Needle threader – this tool helps pull out individual threads from their cushions without damaging them while being careful not to break off any needles at all! It also allows for easier storage since it can fit inside most sewing machines without taking up much space inside either case which means less clutter around home/office space when storing things like spools etcetera.”

Remove the light bulb cover on the front of the machine.

To remove the light bulb cover, look for a small Phillips screwdriver at the front of your machine. It will be located on the left side of where it says Singer Sewing Machine, and you’ll need to turn this screwdriver counterclockwise until it pops out of place. Once you have turned off your power supply and removed this cover, look for an indicator light that tells you when your machine is ready to use again (it’s usually located near where other items are stored).

Pull out thread from the spool and insert the spool into the pin at the top of your sewing machine.

• Remove the spool from its box.
• Place the spool on your sewing machine’s pin, which is located at the top of your machine. You may need to turn it around so that you can see where this is, but don’t worry if it’s not obvious!
• Securely fasten both ends of your thread in place with a screwdriver or other tool—you’ll be inserting them into each end of your bobbin later on in this process.

Find and thread through a hole on your take-up lever.

If you have a Singer legacy sewing machine, this is the first threading hole you will see when looking at the front of your machine. It’s located in the middle of your mechanical arm on the left side, closest to the needle (if viewed from above).

Then, thread from left to right under tension discs.

When you’re finished threading the machine, it’s time to head back over to the needle. In this step, we’ll be threading from left to right under tension discs. This can be done with either hand—you can use your left hand or a threader if you prefer. The key here is simply following the steps in order and not cutting off any threads until you’ve reached the end of each row (or “disc”). How to thread a singer heritage sewing machine

Once this has been completed successfully, move on to step seven: attaching the bobbin case into place on top of its base plate using its three screws.

To do this, place your left hand underneath where the needle fits into the machine, with your thumb up, and move your hand as you pull down and back.

Make sure that all of these things are in order: The needle is in its down position; the presser foot has been lowered so that it rests on top of what’s called a “bobbin;” and there’s nothing blocking the bobbin case. How to thread a singer heritage sewing machine

Next, thread through 2 take-up levers and put it in your lower tension screw.

Now, we’re going to thread through two take-up levers and put it in your lower tension screw.

• First, thread through the take-up lever:

• Locate the second lever on the left side of your machine. You’ll see an arrow pointing up at this point, which means that’s where you should start threading.
• Thread through this lever so that its small end is facing toward you (the direction of travel), then push it back out as far as possible without causing damage or breaking off any parts of your machine.*Next, we’ll move on to installing our new bobbin case cover:

Then, bring it back around past 3 tension discs and through another take-up lever.

• Have your fabric ready to go into the sewing machine.
• Set up your sewing machine with the appropriate settings, such as stitch length and width, presser foot pressure, etc., according to the manufacturer’s instructions or online resources such as you tube videos (if available).
• How to thread a singer heritage sewing machine
• Thread the bobbin with thread that matches what you’re going to be sewing on your project; make sure it’s not too thick or thin! If you don’t know how much extra length can be added onto a standard spool then check out our blog post here: https://www.sewinghelpdesk/blog/threading-bobbins-how-much-extra-length/.

Next, cross over to a second line of upper tension discs and go through another take-up lever.

• Threading the machine: The Singer Heritage sewing machine has two different threads that you can use for different fabrics:
• How to thread a singer heritage sewing machine
• Singer’s top thread is thicker than their regular top thread and is used on heavier fabrics such as denim or fleece. It usually comes with a few feet of this type of thread included in the pack; if not, then you may have to order it separately from your local retailer or online store (like Sewing Machine Hub).
• SINGER’S REGULAR THREAD IS USED ON FINELY WOVEN FABRICS LIKE SILK AND COTTON AND ITS DIFFERENCE FROM THE SECOND TYPE OF THREAD IS THAT IT HAS A LESSER WEIGHT WITHIN ITS SPOOL(S).

• Place a new bobbin in the machine, then thread the bobbin onto your needle and pass it through the opening at the back of your machine (the socket where you attach your bobbins).

Insert your bobbin into a bobbin case holder (slide it in).

• Insert your bobbin into a bobbin case holder (slide it in). The bobbin case holder is located on the right side of your machine, opposite from where you’re threading.

• Wind your new thread around the spool so that it’s wound in the opposite direction of what you’d normally use when sewing with thread. When winding threads back onto bobbins, always use blue or white cotton instead of black or brown cotton—black and brown aren’t recommended for Singer machines due to their tendency to wear out quickly; this also makes it easier for beginners who may be unfamiliar with how to wind their own threads correctly

Once completed, you can sew away!

When you are done, the machine will be ready to sew!

• For your first project, take the needle plate off and put it back on.

• Next, put the bobbin cover on.
• Turn on your machine and check if everything looks good: tension of thread, bobbin in place (if applicable), needle in place (if applicable), light bulb working properly

Conclusion

Now that you’ve successfully threaded your machine, you’ll be able to get started on whatever project it is that you’re making. Just remember to keep your eye on the ball of thread as you sew and stop if it gets too tight or loose.
