How to thread a side mounted sewing machine

All sewing machines are different, I have a front mounted, side mounted, and a serge machine. Here I will be giving a walk through on how to thread a side mounted sewing machine.

  1. Place a spool of thread on the spindle holder and lead the thread across the top of the thread guide
  2. Continue the thread across the top of the machine into the second thread guide
  3. Guide the thread down the beginning of the tubing hole
  4. Continue to lead the thread through the tubing hold
  5. Guide the thread around the tension disk, making sure the thread falls between the two disks and up and over the take up hook
  6. Lead the thread under the take up spring
  7. Continue to guide the thread up and through the slot of the take up disks
  8. Pass the thread down and through the thread guides
  9. Lead the thread into the clamp near the needle holder
  10. Guide the thread through the eye of the needle 
Again, if the machine isn't threaded properly it's going to knot up at the bottom, skip stitches, or will unthread.
