Spool Pins
Your machine has two spool pins, a main
spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The
spool pins are designed for all types of
thread. The main spool pin is used in a

the horizontal position for normal threads
and the vertical position for large spools or
specialty threads.
Main Spool Pin
Place a spool cap and the thread spool on
the spool pin. Make sure that the thread
reels off the spool counter clock-wise and
slide on a second spool cap.
Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in
the same way. If you experience problems with
the thread, turn it in the opposite way or use the
vertical position.
Use a spool cap slightly larger than the
thread spool. For narrow thread spools, use
a smaller spool cap in front of the spool. For
large thread spools, use a larger spool cap
in front of the spool.
The flat side of the spool cap should be
pressed firmly against the spool. There
should be no space between the spool cap
and the thread spool.
Auxiliary Spool Pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when wind-
ing a bobbin thread from a second spool of
thread or for a second spool when sewing
with a twin needle.
