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
horizontal position (the thread reels off the spool) and
the auxiliary spool pin in a vertical position (the thread
spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for normal
threads and the vertical position for large spools or
specialty threads.
Main spool pin
Narrow thread spool
Large thread spool
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 the spool so
that the thread reels off in the opposite direction or place the
thread in 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
Auxiliary spool pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin
from a second spool of thread or for a second spool
when sewing with a twin needle.
Insert the auxiliary spool pin into the hole at the top of
the machine (A). Slide on a large spool cap and place a
felt pad under the thread spool. This is to prevent the
thread from reeling off too fast.
Do not place a spool cap on top of the spool pin as that
would prevent the spool from rotating.
