Rethreading the upper thread will be necessary if
- If the color of your choice is not already threaded on one of the fifteen needles;
- When the upper thread breaks;
- If there is an unexplained problem with the stitching.
The process may seem daunting at first, but with practice it will become second nature. Take it slowly and be patient.
If you are replacing a cone that is already on the Barudan, you can tie a knot connecting the new cone to the thread from the existing cone, then pull down GENTLY until the thread reaches the thread keep bar just over the needles and presser feet. Be sure that the thread feeds freely from the cone through the tubes to the front of the machine, and is not wound around the spindle or under the cone.
Contents
- 1 To completely rethread the Upper Thread, follow these steps:
- 1.1 1. Remove the felt pad covering the first thread guide
- 1.2 2. Take the thread through the slotted post of the first tensioner.
- 1.3 You are placing the thread through the slot on the post that holds the two disks.
- 1.4 3. Remove the felt pad covering the first thread guide.
- 1.5 4. Take the thread through the slotted post of the first tensioner.
- 1.6 5. Take the thread from the left to right of UTSM tension wheel and wrap it one and one-half times around the wheel and take the thread down to the left side of both the top and bottom pegs.
- 1.7 6. Pull the thread to the right of the tensioner assembly and wrap it 1.5 times between the nylon wheels and over the take-up spring. NOTE: to ensure proper threading, pull the thread down, and check that the take-up spring bounces up and down with the thread movement.
- 1.8 7. Thread through the top thread guide,
- 1.9 8. Thread through the next guide
- 1.10 9. Thread through the third guide.
- 1.11 10. Pass the thread to the right of the take-up lever, then through the next thread guide from back to front.
- 1.12 11. Thread the eyelet in the take-up lever from right to left
- 1.13 12. Thread through the next guide
- 1.14 13. Reach underneath the apron and push the thread keep pin forward, so the thread can go through the hole, then pass the thread through the last eyelet.
- 1.15 14. Thread the small pigtail that circles the needle, either passing It through before threading the eye of the needle OR thread the needle from front to back and, holding the thread securely, pass the thread through the small opening on the right side of the pigtail.
- 1.16 15. After all needles have been threaded, replace the felt pad to avoid kinks and loops in the thread.
To completely rethread the Upper Thread, follow these steps:
1. Remove the felt pad covering the first thread guide
2. Take the thread through the slotted post of the first tensioner.
You are placing the thread through the slot on the post that holds the two disks.
3. Remove the felt pad covering the first thread guide.
4. Take the thread through the slotted post of the first tensioner.
5. Take the thread from the left to right of UTSM tension wheel and wrap it one and one-half times around the wheel and take the thread down to the left side of both the top and bottom pegs.
6. Pull the thread to the right of the tensioner assembly and wrap it 1.5 times between the nylon wheels and over the take-up spring. NOTE: to ensure proper threading, pull the thread down, and check that the take-up spring bounces up and down with the thread movement.
7. Thread through the top thread guide,
8. Thread through the next guide
9. Thread through the third guide.
10. Pass the thread to the right of the take-up lever, then through the next thread guide from back to front.
11. Thread the eyelet in the take-up lever from right to left
12. Thread through the next guide
13. Reach underneath the apron and push the thread keep pin forward, so the thread can go through the hole, then pass the thread through the last eyelet.
14. Thread the small pigtail that circles the needle, either passing It through before threading the eye of the needle OR thread the needle from front to back and, holding the thread securely, pass the thread through the small opening on the right side of the pigtail.
15. After all needles have been threaded, replace the felt pad to avoid kinks and loops in the thread.
