Preparations
Spool Pins
Main spool pin (A) and auxiliary spool pin (B)
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.
Use the main spool pin (A) when threading the upper
thread and for bobbin winding through the needle. For
regular sewing and embroidery thread, use the main
spool pin in vertical position. Place the spool pin in the
horizontal position if you want to keep the machine
threaded and close the lid when you have finished
sewing. Remember to place the spool pin back in the
vertical position when you start to sew/embroider
again.
Note: Tilting the spool pins is not possible with large thread
spools or cones.
You may get better results if you tilt the spool pin to the
horizontal position when using small spools of specialty
thread. See Threading Tips and Hints, page 39.
Use the auxiliary spool pin (B) when winding a bobbin
from a second spool of thread or for a second spool
when sewing with a twin needle.
Spool Caps
Spool caps in three sizes are included with your
machine. For most types of thread spools, no spool cap
is needed except when the thread on the spool is
running low. If the thread is snagging on the top of the
thread spool, place a spool cap on top. Always use a
spool cap slightly larger than the thread spool to
prevent the thread from snagging. 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.
