it with cotton or polyester thread.
3. Thread the machine as shown on diagram (steps 1 to 7). In step 2, make sure you insert the thread between
the two discs of the tension dial (10).
4. In step 6, slide the thread through the needle. Raise the needle to its highest point by turning the hand wheel
