Help - I unthreaded my millie and can't remember what to do.

[aktbone]

Not paying attention I pulled the thread out of my millie and don't remember how it goes back through the guides that have 3 holes.

 

Pics please!

 

Can I get a DUH!!!!

Put it through any of the holes in the guide at the center top of the machine, then go up through the farthest hole on the guide closest to the front of the machine. Then go up through the second hole, and then up again through the last hole closest to you. This is how I was taught to do it. You can thread it any way you like though as long as you make sure you use the hole closest to the front. Often I only thread through two instead of three.

Off cone up through wire hook. Through middle hole on first 3 hole guide. Then down thru first hole up thru second hole down thru third hole of next 3 hole guide. Around tension assembly hooking on wire spring. Under L. Through hole on the arm that goes up and down with needle. Thru pig tail behind handles. Then thru pig tail above needle and thrum needle.

It is not a duh moment we have all done it.

I run King Tut or Cairo Quilt through the last three hole guide in a down, up, down fashion like a running stitch.  But Glide, So Fine etc I run like a whipped stitch down  wrap over the side down  wrap over  the side down.

Thanks all - I got it.  Not a big deal just could not figure out which holes to use.

 

My stitches look even better now!  Maybe I should unthread every time!!!
