¶ Threading the Coverstitch
There are two main ways to thread the coverstitch. If it is already threaded correctly, you can use the fast way. If it is not threaded, or threaded incorrectly, follow the diagram below.

¶ The Fast Way
Do this for each thread that needs to be changed.
- Unthread the needle.
- Cut the thread between the machine and the spool.
- Tie the end of the new spool of thread to the machine end of the old thread.
- Using the end of the old thread by the needle, pull the knot and new thread all the way through the machine.
- Cut the old thread off of the new thread.
- Thread the needle with the new thread.
