g
While holding the thread in your right
hand, pass the thread through the thread
guide in the direction indicated.
h
Guide the thread down, up, then down
through the groove, as shown in the
illustration.
CAUTION
• If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set
incorrectly, the thread may tangle on the spool
pin and cause the needle to break.
• Use the spool cap (large or medium) or the
thread spool insert (mini king spool insert) that
is closest in size to the thread spool. If a spool
cap smaller than the thread spool is used, the
thread may become caught in the slit on the
end of the spool and cause the needle to
break.
Memo
• When sewing with fine, cross-wound
thread, use the small spool cap, and leave a
small space between the cap and the
thread spool.

c Space
• If a spool of thread whose core is 12 mm (1/
2 inch) in diameter and 75 mm (3 inches)
high is inserted onto the spool pin, use the
thread spool insert (mini king
spool insert).

Memo
• Look in the upper groove area to check if
