How to use thread a Thompson mini walking foot 400

To thread a Thompson mini walking foot 400 sewing machine, follow these steps:
  1. First, make sure that the machine is unplugged and that the presser foot is in the raised position.
  2. Take the thread that you want to use and pass it through the thread guide at the top of the machine.
  3. Bring the thread down to the bobbin winder, and pass it through the tension disc.
  4. Place the bobbin onto the bobbin winder, and hold the end of the thread as you wind the bobbin.
  5. When the bobbin is wound, cut the thread and remove the bobbin from the winder.
  6. Hold the bobbin with the thread facing towards the back of the machine, and insert it into the bobbin case.
  7. Pull the thread through the slot in the bobbin case and bring it up to the top of the machine.
  8. Pass the thread through the thread guide on the take-up lever, and then through the thread guide on the needle bar.
  9. Lower the presser foot, and you are ready to start sewing!
Note: If you are having difficulty threading the machine, refer to the owner's manual for more detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips.

How to tread Viking Husqvarna h class 500 r

I can't find a Husqvarna Viking H Class 500 R. There is a 500E. Make sure that the presser foot is up and the needle is in the highest position. Use the hand wheel to move the needle by turning the wheel towards you. All machines follow a move from right to left, down, up, down threading pattern. Place the spool on the appropriate spool pin and put on the spool pin cap. First guide the thread around the thread guide to the left of the spool pin and then pull it down along the groove. Continue running the thread down the groove and then around the inside of the tab at the bottom. Bring the thread up to the thread take-up lever. Pass the thread through the thread take-up lever from right to left. Insert the thread in the left-most groove and bring it down to the thread guide. Guide the thread into the thread guide above the needle. To use the needle threader, lower the presser foot. Otherwise, push the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back. See the manual if you are using a vertical spool or a double needle. The needle threader can't be used with a size 60 needle or the multi-needle options.

For inserting the filled bobbin, raise the needle. Open the bobbin cover plate by pressing the release button to the right while pushing the left corner of the plate. Place the bobbin on the pin of the bobbin case with the bobbin rotating counter-clockwise when the thread is pulled gently. Pull the thread through the slot slightly to the left of the 6 o'clock position (12 hour clock) and then to the left. Gently hold the bobbin with a finger and pull the thread the second slot (near 8 o'clock). Pull out about 6" of thread heading towards the rear of the machine and replace the bobbin cover plate.

The manual for the H-Class 500E is available here: https://www.husqvarnaviking.com/en-US/Machines/H-CLASS-500E . The current link to the manual is https://www.husqvarnaviking.com/getattachment/Machines/H-CLASS-500E/HClass_500E_manual_EN_B.pdf.aspx . See page 11 (page 13 of the PDF) for threading the top thread. Page 15 (page 17 of the PDF) has the section on inserting the bobbin.

I hope this helps.

White fr 500 will not take up bobbin thread

It usually happens when the needle is bent or threaded incorrectly. If ok then the hook must be missing the thread loop, check timing.

The thread is birdnestting where the bobbin is

Birdnesting can be corrected by adjusting the bobbin tension lower. You need to check for threads stuck in the bobbin tension and clean them out. The thread should feed out of the bobbin tension with a small amount of tension. Make sure your bobbin is rotating the right direction; probably counter clockwise. Adjust the top to three and give it a try. You may need to make a small adjustment on the top tension. Your goal is to have the bottom and top tension equal just like a tug of war.

Thread is gathering under cloth

Check that the thread is tight around the bobbin. Make sure that the bobbin is in the right way around - the bobbin thread should double back on itself coming out of the bobbin holder. The bobbin tension adjustment is the small screw in the plate on the bobbin case that the thread passes under as it comes off the bobbin and goes out.

My bobbin thread will not thread. When I bring the needle down, it comes up without the bobbin thread. The mechanism moves, but no thread. How do I fix this problem?

check the bobbin to make sure it's not warped
check the needle to make sure it's not bent-roll on flat surface to see if it roll correctly
make sure the bobbin is in the bobbin case correctly
make sure you have a 3 to 4 inch tail on the bobbin-so the upper thread can pick it up easily
make sure you have a 3 to 4 inch tail on upper thread also as it picks up the lower thread
or you can hold the upper thread with your hand to the side of the machine & use the handwheel to lower the needle as it picks up the lower thread
pull both threads to the back behind the needle
make sure there is no lint or loose threads in the bobbin area
