To thread the Crofton MD 8708 sewing machine, follow these steps: 1. Before threading, raise the needle to its highest position by turning the balance wheel and lifting the presser foot lever. 2. Place a spool of thread onto the spool holder, ensuring that the thread is led from the backside of the spool. Hold the spool with your right hand. 3. Lead the thread under the spring clamp through the upper thread guide. 4. Then, lead the thread between the tension disks of the upper thread tension dial. 5. Next, thread the upper thread through the thread take-up lever. 6. Continue threading the upper thread by leading it down and through the thread guide located above the needle. 7.

Why is the foot controller not working properly on the Crofton MD 8708 sewing machine?

Examine the foot controller: Inspect the foot controller for any visible damage or loose connections. Ensure that the foot controller is securely connected to the sewing machine. 3. Test the foot controller: Try using the foot controller on a different sewing machine, if available, to determine if the issue lies with the foot controller itself.
