Task 10 - Threading the Machine
Before threading the machine, make sure you’ve selected quality thread for your project. Choosing
the right thread for the machine can prevent the thread from breaking or tangling up under the
needle plate. For more information on choosing thread, see page 97. Note the following:
• This machine uses cone-style thread, not thread from a spool. Do not use spool thread unless
the spool accessory (not included in this kit) has been installed.
• Choose thread that is strong enough to pass the yank test (shown below), and re-test thread as
it ages. Thread strength can diminish over time.
a. Hold the cone in one hand and the end of thread in the other.
b. Tug on the thread. If the thread snaps easily, it may be too brittle to use for quilting.
