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 adjustable and
can be used both in a horizontal position (the thread
reels off the spool) and a vertical position (the thread
spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for normal
threads and the vertical position for large spools or
specialty threads.
Horizontal Position
Place a felt pad and the thread spool on the spool pin.
Make sure that the thread reels off from the front of the
spool (A) and slide on a 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.
Depending on the size of thread spool, reverse the
direction of the spool cap (B).
Use the small cap when you use cross wound thread
(C).
Set the thread net over the spool if thread unrolls easily
(D).
Vertical Position
Main spool pin in vertical position.
Raise the spool pin to the vertical position. 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.
Auxiliary spool pin and main spool pin in vertical position.
The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin
thread 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). Place a felt pad under the thread spool.
