If bobbin thread is running low: You can continue sewing without closing the pop-up before the bobbin thread runs out completely.

  • Page 28: Spool Pins

    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. 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.

  • Page 29: Threads

    Threads There are many threads on the market today developed for different purposes. Your DESIGNER EPIC™ machine is designed for all types of threads and spool sizes. See Threading Tips and Hints, page 36 for information on achieving optimal results with different types of thread and different sizes/styles of thread spools.

  • Page 30: Needles

    Needles The sewing machine needle plays an important role in successful sewing. Use only quality needles. We recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package included with your machine contains needles of the most frequently used sizes. Be sure to match the needle to the thread you are using. Heavier threads require a needle with a larger needle eye.

  • Page 31: Changing The Needle

    Changing the Needle 1. Use the hole in the multipurpose tool to hold the needle. 2. Loosen the needle screw with the universal tool. 3. Remove the needle. 4. Insert the new needle using the multipurpose tool. Push the new needle upwards with the flat side away from you until it will go no further.

  • Page 32: Threading

    Threading Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in the up position. Threading the Upper Thread For most regular thread qualities and spool sizes, threading the upper thread from the main (left) spool pin in the vertical position is recommended for optimal sewing results. If you experience problems with the thread or sewing result, there are alternative ways to position the thread spool.
  • Page 33 Hold the thread with two hands as illustrated. Floss the thread under the thread guide (A) from front to back. Pull thread back into and through threading slot (B). Note: Continue to hold the thread lightly next to the thread guide (A) throughout the threading process.

  • Page 36: Threading Tips And Hints

    Threading Tips and Hints There are many threads on the market today developed for different purposes.

  • Page 39: Bobbin Winding

    Bobbin Winding All types of thread, including specialty threads such as invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads, should be wound directly from the auxiliary spool pin without passing the needle and presser foot. Note: Always wind specialty threads at lower speed. Place a thread spool on the auxiliary spool pin.
  • Page 40 Place the bobbin on the bobbin spindle on the lower right side of the machine. The bobbin only fits on one way, with the logo facing out. The bobbins included are designed especially for your DESIGNER EPIC™ machine. Do not use bobbins from other machine models.

  • Page 41: Winding Through The Needle

    Winding Through the Needle When using the same thread in the needle and bobbin, it is convenient to wind a new bobbin directly through the needle without having to unthread/re-thread your machine. We do not recommend winding speciality threads such as invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads through the needle.
  • Page 42 Bring the thread directly through bobbin winding thread guide (C). Note: Bypass the tension disc when winding through the needle. Place the bobbin on the bobbin spindle on the lower right side of the machine. The bobbin only fits on one way, with the logo facing out.
