Abstract
In threading an eyelet of a looper of a sewing machine, a slide member is displaced until a positioning portion of the slide member comes into contact with the looper. In this contact condition, a thread pushing projection for pushing a looper thread is displaced to penetrate into the eyelet of the looper so that the looper thread pushed by the thread pushing projection passes through the eyelet of the looper. The looper thread having passed through the eyelet is grasped by a grasping portion of the slide member. Thereafter, the thread pushing projection is retracted from the eyelet of the looper, and the slide member is returned to an original position, thus completing the threading operation.
