3.2 Extension Table Installation
To use the extension table, align its pegs with the corresponding holes on the machine's base. Ensure the table is placed securely on top of the edge of the machine, not merely even with it, to prevent slipping during use. This provides a larger, more stable working surface for bigger projects.
3.3 Threading the Machine
Proper threading is crucial for smooth operation and to prevent thread breakage or jamming. The machine comes pre-threaded from the factory for testing purposes. It is recommended to follow the threading steps carefully.

Image 6: Threading Step 2 - Loosen the tension to prevent needle breakage.
Image 7: Threading Step 3 - Pull out about 4 inches of thread to catch the bottom thread.
3.4 Needle Installation
When installing a new needle, ensure the flat side of the needle faces the throat (right side) of the machine. The top thread should pass through the needle from left to right. The bottom thread will be pulled up through the needle plate by the top thread during initial setup.
