White Sewing Machine Threading Diagram. Place the thread through the take up lever. That is how it got its name.
Thread the guides according to the diagram in the white sewing machine manual. Make sure the thread looks like the diagram does. Locate and thread any thread guides leading down to the sewing machine needle.
Place the thread through the take up lever.
Antique shops may have their prices marked a little higher but their value is more on the historical aspect of the machine and not the machine itself. Use as fine a needle as will permit the thread to pass freely through the eye. The machine was the first produced by the white company with a rotary shaped disk wheel. Have the thread through the designated guide and into the tension disk.
