UPPER THREADING
CAUTION
• Be sure to thread the machine properly.
Improper threading can cause the thread to
tangle and break the needle, leading to injury.
Memo
• The automatic threading function can be used
with home sewing machine needle sizes 75/
11 through 100/16.
• When threads such as metallic thread or
specialty threads are used, it is not
recommended to use the needle threader.
• For most embroidery applications, the upper
thread should be 40-weight rayon or polyester
embroidery thread.

IMPORTANT
• Be sure to raise the needle before using the

needle threader may be damaged.

regarding the choice of spool caps for your
thread choice, refer to “Note” on page 16.

correctly, the thread may become tangled
around the spool pin, possibly causing the
needle to break, resulting in injuries.
