How To Thread A Necchi Sewing Machine Correctly
Step 1. Start with the upper thread
- Refer to the Necchi manual to see the illustrations and make threading easier
- Follow the directions for the specific Necchi sewing machine you have
- Place the thread spool on the spool pin at the front and secure it in place
- Guide the thread end through the tension disc above the thread guides
- Have the thread towards the front of the sewing machine and down into the grooved area
- Lead the thread around the bottom of the guide and up the machine over the loop, so the thread formed a U-shape
- Thread the guides above the sewing machine needle before pulling the thread down into the needle eye
- Pull several inches of the thread through the needle eye
Step 2. Pull the bobbin up
- Check if you’ve raised the needle as much as possible
- Place a full bobbin in the area below the feed dogs
- Put the bobbin into the case and pull about 4 inches of thread
- Close the case and area under the feed dogs
- Pull and hold the top thread end after loading the bobbin
- Check if you’ve threaded the needle
- Connect the top and bottom threads by turning the wheel a few times
- You should be able to see the bobbin thread now, but if not, adjust your Necchi machine tension
How Do You Thread A Necchi Supernova?
- Refer to the Necchi Supernova manual to see the illustrations
- Raise the needle as high as possible by turning the balance wheel towards you
- Place the thread spool on its pin and check the manual to know the guide to thread
- Pull the thread down and between the tension discs
- Lead the thread up and over the check spring before bringing it down under the guide and through the slot
- Have the thread through the guide hook and pass it right to left through the thread take-up lever
- Draw the thread down and into the slot and guide hook
- Guide the thread left to right through the needle eye and leave about 4 inches of free thread
How Do You Use A Necchi Supernova Sewing Machine?
- Set up the sewing machine accordingly
- Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the latter to secure the material in place
- Lightly tap on the foot pedal, as the pressure will dictate the speed of stitching
- Press the reverse button to sew backward at the beginning and end of each stitch row to keep the stitches from unraveling
- Release the reverse button and proceed sewing
- To finish, raise the presser foot and cut the threads
Adjusting the thread tension
- Check the upper and lower thread tensions as they should both interlock in the center of the material
- If the upper thread tension is too high, you’ll see the lower thread at the top surface of the fabric
- If the lower thread tension is too tight, the upper thread is pulled underneath the material
- Lower the presser foot and turn the tension regulating knob accordingly
- Test the stitches on a scrap fabric
If you encounter issues with adjusting the sewing machine tension, read how to replace the tension assembly on a sewing machine.
Positioning of presser bar and presser foot
- Check the presser foot opening if it sits above the needle plate opening
- To adjust its position, loosen the presser bar screw in the presser bar guide
- Turn the presser foot until you set it correctly with regards to the needle plate
- Tighten the screw and check if the guide didn’t lose its original position
