Needle threading: Turn off the power switch. Holding the grip of threader with mark up. Guide the thread, inserting it into the Y groove of the knob from right to left. Place the V groove over the needle just above the needle eye. Slide the threader down the needle while pushing it gently until the threader pin goes into the needle eye. Push the grip. Remove the threader from the needle slowly. Then pick up the loop with the hook pulling the end of the thread out to the back.
