How to thread a sewing machine. master explains
Sewing machine stitch formation is based on intertwining the two threads of the upper and lower. If you look at the sewing machine, you can easily see these two threads. The upper thread comes from the spool and is inserted into the eye of the needle, the lower thread comes out of the hook and out through the hole in the needle plate. Not only the quality of the stitching, but the sewing machine’s ability to perform sewing operations in general depends on how well they are threaded into the machine.
That’s why it’s so important for a beginner seamstress to initially learn how to thread.
If you have one of the modern sewing machines, then you can quickly and easily master this skill. Zakadat top thread in them wrong almost unreal, because the way it pulls through quite simple. For added clarity on the body are drawn arrows indicating the sequence of this operation. Even threading the thread through the eye of the needle is not too difficult. For this purpose, invented a whole device thread changer.
Another thing if you own a manual sewing machine. Here the task will be more difficult.
Let’s analyze the process step by step. The diagram shows a view of a correctly threaded upper thread in a manual sewing machine with the main elements indicated.
The spool of thread 3 is put on the upper spool rod.
Check the position of the threadpuller 1 and the needle. Their correct position is upper-most. Using the flywheel we bring them to this position.
The thread is pulled to the left to the front board 5 through its upper cutout 6.
How to Thread a Janome Sewing Machine
Then thread is inserted between washers 8 and 9 of the tension regulator of the upper thread 7, pulling it at both ends upwards, lead into the loop of thread tension spring 12.
Guide the thread upwards and pull it from the back toward you through the eye of the thread take-up 1.
Thread through the hooks of thread guides 14 and 15
Lower thread is wound on a special small bobbin bobbin. It is also present in modern machines Janome, Brother, Singer, etc., and machines Podolsk, Chaika even Soviet production. Design bobbins of different machines do not differ from each other. The only difference may be only in dimensions.
But the design of the hook mechanism in machines is different, so the operation of threading the bobbin thread will be different.
Modern machines use horizontal shuttles. As the name suggests, the working plane of the hook is located in the machine horizontally, so the bobbin is easy to fit into the hook and does not require additional fastening. Filling the lower thread, as well as the upper, in modern domestic sewing machines is literally one movement of the hand, following the directions of the arrows.
The vertical type of sewing shuttle can be found in modern machines (most often in higher-end machines and industrial sewing machines), as well as in domestic electromechanical sewing machines of domestic and foreign production.
Here the hook is vertical. A special cap is used to secure the bobbin in the hook.
The bobbin with the thread wound on it is inserted into the bobbin case. The thread is pulled through a slot in the cap under a special oblique plate, which holds it. Then the cap is put on the hook pin together with the bobbin. To do this, bend the lever of the cap to the stop and holding it, put the cap on the pin. The hook pin of the cap should align with the notch in the hook plate. Release the lever and at the same time press the cap until it clicks. The end of the bobbin thread hangs freely from the cap.
Once the cap has been placed in the hook, you must pull the lower thread upwards. To do this, hold the end of the upper thread (it is inserted into the needle) with your left hand and slowly rotate the flywheel with your right hand. Rotate until the needle makes one full stroke, t.е. it should drop down into the hole in the needle plate and come back up again. On the upper thread will be a loop of the lower thread, which must be pulled out.
There you go. Both threads are threaded and you can start sewing. If the operations described above are performed correctly, the stitch will be straight and of good quality. If you are still not satisfied with the quality of the stitching, you may need additional settings. To cope with them you will help our masters to repair sewing machines.
Make sure there are no threads in the machine that you don’t need right now. If they are present, they are easy to pull out.
Check the tension of the upper thread tensioner. It should be functional and in working order, and all parts should be in place. If there is lint from previous threads, use the brush to clean the tensioner. Take out and inspect the shuttle, bobbin and bobbin cap for nicks.
Remember the last time you lubricated the mechanism. If it was a long time ago, for example, has passed more than six months. disassemble the machine, check the condition of the mechanisms.
Clean them if necessary. Use industrial or motor oil to lubricate moving parts. Assemble the machine, plug it in and run it idle for one minute.
Make sure that all mechanisms work smoothly and accurately during the test run. There should be no slowing down when you are not expecting it, and no movement of the mechanisms with noticeable force.
Reinstall the hook, insert a needle that matches the thickness of the upper thread with which you intend to sew fabrics of a particular thickness and texture. Domestic sewing machines use needles with the bulb cut along one side.
Design of an electromechanical sewing machine
Although the model sewing machines with electromechanical control may differ in terms of features, design, and other parameters, in general, they all have the same “stuffing”:
- The arm is a hollow part, inside which is located the main shaft of the device, which drives the mechanisms that perform the stitches.
- Sleeve platform. the area of the machine, where the fabric is placed during the sewing process.
- Flywheel. the main working element, designed for manual scrolling. Handwheel is responsible for movement of the machine, starting and stopping the stroke, winding the thread on the bobbin, the beginning of a line, setting the needle to the upper position, etc. д.
- The bobbin is a movable hook that is involved in weaving the threads on the bobbins.
- Bobbins. special spools designed to wind the thread.
- Foot is an important part that fixes the fabric and prevents the fabric from slipping while sewing on the sewing machine.
- Thread guides. small hook-shaped “ears”, which are attached to the thread at the stage of threading.
- The toothed rack is part of the material feed mechanism, which gently hooks and pushes the fabric under the needle (for an even stitch).
- Useful at!Stitch. the smallest part of the seam (stitch), in fact, it is the distance between the 2 piercing the needle. Quilting stitch. one that is formed by intertwining the upper and lower threads.
How to tuck a hook into a sewing machine
Before working on the sewing machine need to properly tuck in the upper and lower threads, as well as adjust their tension. It is important to determine the stitch pitch and stitch type. Without tucking the hook also nowhere.
Take the common vertical hook as an example. It is used on large factory machines and inexpensive home machines. Instructions are as follows:
- Wind the thread on the bobbin. To do this, it is carried through a special mechanism and attached to the bobbin. It remains to make a couple of manual winding cycles and switch the machine to automatic winding.
- When there is enough thread, the process is stopped and the bobbin is inserted into the bobbin case so that the thread runs clockwise in it.
- Pull the thread through the hole in the cap and pass it under the leaf spring. In the end, it should extend about 10 centimeters into the ear.
- If necessary, increase or decrease thread tension by tightening the special screw on the cap.
- Insert the hook into the vertical hook with the tail up to make sure it fits well into the grooves.
- Turn the handwheel until the upper thread catches the hook thread.
- Pull both threads to the foot of the machine.
Important! The thread tension needs to be adjusted most carefully. There should be no situations where the thread is loose or too tight. In the first case, it will result in crooked stitching, and in the second case, it will result in thread breakage.
