2 Pull each thread through the color-coded guides for that spool. Most overlock machines have a handy color-
coded diagram and colored dots that show you where each thread is supposed to pass through. Follow this
diagram and pass each thread through the color-coded hooks and loops for that spool of thread.
• You can use a pair of tweezers to make it easier to pass the thread through all the holes. This is especially
helpful for the final holes underneath the presser foot. (Fig 3)

3 Pass the ends of the threads behind the presser foot. Pull the end of each thread underneath the presser foot
and towards the back of the machine. Do this for each thread after you pass it through the final hole near the
presser foot.

• This will allow you to thread the needles correctly. (Fig 4)
