Artisan 618 Sewing Machine Threading

[fjk]

Is there a video out there on how to thread a Artisan 618 sewing machine. The book is hard to understand and I am having a heck of a time. Any help will be appreciated!

Hey F.J.,

I just went through this with my Cobra 18......Go to YouTube and do a search for Consew 206RB. Look at the video by user Survival Citizen. It is in HD and very clear and concise. If your machine doesn't have the post as the first threading 'station', but rather the 6-hole horizontal plate, look at the YouTube video "How to Thread a Techsew 4400 Walking Foot Industrial Sewing Machine" courtesy of TechSew Ron.

Hope this helps.

It was very kind of you to make a video of how to thread! My dealer had instructed me differently. They only wanted me to go through one half of the top threading guide, every other hole which is two holes only,. then same through the vertical threading guide, two more holes. On through the tension disks but they told me it's very important to go up and around the round rod that's on the tension disks before heading down to the next round metal thing. I tried to go through every other and then every hole on the vertical guide but it was too much tension on the thread and acually shredded it a little. So then I did the top the way the dealer told me and tried every hole on the vertical thread guide but same thing happened. It was too hard to get the fabric away from the machine as the thread wouldn't slide well. I just went back to the way that worked. I just bought a zipper foot for the machine and it only came with two pieces. Is that correct? Do you know? Thanks.
