Once you reach the top of the sewing machine, direct the thread on top of the loop. The thread should form a narrow U-shape on the front part of the sewing machine.

Step #5 Bring the Thread Down into the Two Guides Close the Needle

Step #6 Put the Thread End into the Needle’s Eye

For Necchi sewing machine with a double-needle, threading is done following these 4 steps:

Step #1 Placing the Spool of Thread on each Spool Pins

Step #2 Wrap the Spool Thread

As you move towards the end of the machine, wrap the front spool on the tension disc from the right side. Then do the same thing on the other side of the disc. Insert the strands of the two spools of thread into the loop.

Step #3 Hold the Two Strands Together

After you complete wrapping each strand together in the tension disc, hold both strands together and continue with the process just like what you did on threading using a single strand of thread until you reach the needle.

Step #4 Inserting Each Strand in the Needle’s eye

Thread one strand into the eye of the needle and the other into the second eye of the needle. Pull each strands several inches away into the eyes after threading the needles. It will secure the strands in place.
