Threading Instructions

	To be able to use the Singer 500a with its many stitch settings, you must first thread it. The thread goes up top here. Turn the hand wheel to raise the needle to its highest point.
	Pull the thread through this loop then down toward the thread control.
	Pull the thread through the thread control, like this. The thread control is located above the tension. It ensures a smooth flow of thread from the spool to the needle, eliminating spool weight and drag.
	Pull the thread through the different loops in the tension, then up through the moving arm and down into the outer loop.
	Pull the thread down through these hooks then thread the needle from front to back and pull the thread to the back left of the machine.
	Open the plate and raise the presser foot. Insert the wound bobbin into its place, turn the hand wheel, the needle will dip down and pull a loop of thread from the bobbin. Pull that loop to the back left of the machine and you are done threading. It is time to start sewing.  What will you make?
