Preparing the Machine<\/h2>\n

Before you attempt to load a Brother sewing machine, the machine must be prepared correctly. First of all, check the manual to see if there are any specific instructions needed for loading the machine for your model. Depending on the model, there may be specific steps that you need to follow before the machine is ready for loading.
\nOnce the instructions have been followed, you will need to make sure that the machine itself is ready for use. Start by turning on the machine, this will allow you to check the settings are correct. You should also check the needles, machine feet and other accessories needed to ensure they are in good condition. This can help to prevent any issues with the loading process.
\nIt’s also important to check the thread before loading the machine. Make sure that it is not frayed or damaged in any way that could affect the quality of the stitching. Take a few moments to ensure the thread is free from any knots and that there are no breaks in the thread.<\/p>\n

Threading the Machine<\/h2>\n

Once the machine is prepared, it’s time to thread the machine. The threading process for any Brother sewing machine is actually very similar and mostly the same for all models. Threading the machine starts by loading the spool pin in the back of the machine. You’ll need to place the thread spool onto the pin and make sure it is secure.
\nOnce you have the thread spool in place, the next step is to guide the thread through the tension discs. This can be done manually using your fingers. Make sure to take your time and make sure the thread is following the correct path. Once the thread has been threaded around the tension discs, it’s time to move on to the needle.
\nMake sure the needle is at its highest position, this will make it easier to get the thread through the eye of the needle. Carefully guide the thread through the eye of the needle. Now place the thread through the needle clamp on the other side of the needle and use a threader if necessary.<\/p>\n

Loading the Bobbin<\/h2>\n

The next step is to load the bobbin onto the sewing machine. To do this, take the bobbin and wind it with the thread before placing it in the bobbin case. Make sure that the thread is wrapped in the correct direction. Usually, this will be clockwise. To ensure the thread is wrapped correctly, refer to the user manual for your machine.
\nOnce the bobbin is in the case, it should be placed into the front of the machine, usually located in the seam plate. Carefully push the bobbin into the case and make sure it is secure. Once the bobbin is in place, the machine is ready to be loaded.<\/p>\n

Loading the Machine<\/h2>\n

Now that the machine is threaded, its time to actually load the machine. To do this, start by winding the bobbin up in the machine. This can be done by either pushing the winding pin or the hand wheel, depending on the model of the machine.
\nOnce the bobbin is wound, pull out the thread from the bobbin and to the take up lever. Wind this thread over the take up lever a few times and then pull both threads behind the needle. You can now check the tension of the thread, make sure it is not too loose or too tight.
\nWith the thread correctly loaded, the machine will be ready. Now it is time to start sewing!<\/p>\n
