IMPORTANT
• Use the plastic bobbins that came with this machine or
bobbins of the same type: 11.5 mm (approx. 7/16 inch)
plastic Class 15 (A style) bobbins, which are available
from your Brother dealer.
IMPORTANT
• If the spool or the spool cap is not installed correctly, the
thread may become tangled around the spool pin and
the machine may be damaged.
• Choose a spool cap that best fits the size of spool being
used. For more information regarding the choice of
spool caps for your thread choice, refer to “How to Use
the Spool Cap and Spool Net” on page 35.
