1. Place a cone or spool of thread on the spool pin. Pass
the thread through the thread-mast eyelet from back
to front, continuing to thread guide A. (Figure 13)
2. Continue to the three-hole thread guide B. Wrap all
three holes from back to front, hand wheel side to
needle side. (Figure 14).
Note: The purpose of the three-hole thread guide B is
to prevent loops of thread coming off the thread cone
from going into the top tension as a knot causing thread
breakage and bad tension. For most threads on a cone,
it is important to thread all three holes for consistent
results and to make adjustments at the top tension
assembly. An exception to this rule is when working with
very delicate threads, such as holographic or threads
that are prone to breakage, in which case you may try
skipping one or two holes on thread guide B.
