Before you start threading your Brother sewing machine, gather all of the materials you need. You will need:
Thread
A spool of thread (if using a cone)
Scissors
Pins
Seam ripper (optional)

Threading the machine
Begin by winding the bobbin. Place the thread on the spool pin, and then wind it clockwise around the tension discs. Continue winding until the bobbin is full, and then cut off the excess thread.
- Next, insert the bobbin into the bobbin case, making sure that the thread is running in the correct direction.
- Now it’s time to thread the needle. Start by passing the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back. Then, pull the thread all the way through until there is about six inches of tail hanging off the back of the machine.
- To secure the thread, pass it through one of the take-up levers (located on either side of the needle). Finally, pull on both threads (bobbin and needle) to make sure they are tight before beginning to sew!
- Start by winding the thread onto the spool pin, making sure to keep it in place with a rubber band or small piece of tape.
- Thread the end of your thread through the upper thread guide and pull it to the back of your machine.
- Next, insert your thread through the take-up lever and pull it down towards the bobbin case, then up over the top of it.
- Now, you need to draw up your bobbin thread from underneath using your hand wheel. With both threads now coming out from under the needle plate, align them so that they form a ‘V’.
- Pull both threads so that they are taut, then pass them through the lower thread guide at the front of your machine and draw them back around to behind the needle plate.
- Insert your threads into their respective grooves on either side of your bobbin case, then push it back into its original position so that it is aligned with its little notch on the machine body. Ensure that you have firmly pressed down on top of it before continuing!
- Now that you have placed all components correctly, take
