It is if the Needle is in its highest position that makes the tension discs in the right place. However, I also ~~though it is awkward~~ thread my needle with the pressure foot raised. Quirky but it works.
But :-( making the timing off because you don't raise the pressure foot when threading... that does seem strange!!!
