How to Thread a Singer - Curvy
How to thread a Singer sewing machine
Threading a Singer sewing machine might seem like a daunting task at first, but it doesn’t need to be that way. The exact process for threading a Singer machine will vary depending on the model of the machine that you have, so it is always best to check the instruction manual or find more information on the manufacturer’s website if you’ve lost it.
This guide covers how to thread a Singer sewing machine with the Curvy configuration. Follow these links for guides on how to thread the Main, Alternate and Futura configurations.
Quick tips
- Always raise the presser foot lifter before getting started
- Make sure the thread is properly placed in the take-up lever
- Use a spool cap to stop the thread catching on any irregularities on the spool itself. If the machine came with multiple sizes, use the spool cap that most closely fits the thread spool.
- Always make sure that you are using the correct size and type of needle for your fabric. The wrong needle could cause the thread to shred or break apart.
