What are the steps to correctly thread the Juki MO-3500?

• Turn off the machine

• Prepare the wires
  Position the spools or cones on the spool holders and pull the threads.
• Follow the color-coded threading guide
  The Juki MO-3500 features a clearly color-coded thread path for each looper and needle.
• Activate pneumatic threading for loopers
  Place the thread into the pneumatic system opening, press the lever or air button. The thread will be automatically propelled into the lower and upper loopers.
• Threading the needles manually or with the automatic threader For models equipped with the needle threader, place the thread in the slot then lower the threading lever to insert the thread into the eye. Otherwise, manually thread the right needle then the left needle if you are sewing with 2 needles.

• Pull the threads lightly under the presser foot
  Align the threads behind the foot to prevent them from tangling when starting.
• Final check
  Check that all the wires are in their guides, tension discs and that the wire paths are respected.

• Do a sewing test
  Sew a few inches of fabric to ensure the threads are threaded correctly and the stitch is even.
