Grasp the original thread where it comes out of the last threading guide or the needle itself, and pull steady but firmly until you can hold the knot. Do that with each thread you're changing...easy peasy.
Yes, of course that is the way to do it. However, mine became completely unthreaded. And I gave up in disgust trying to follow the threading path. Usually I can figure anything out but not this paperweight!
