  • Page 12: Spool Pins And Spool Caps 2:4

    SPOOL PINS AND SPOOL CAPS 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 in a horizontal position (the thread reels off the stationary spool) or in a vertical position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for all regular embroidery threads and the vertical position for large spools or specialty threads. Horizontal Position Lift the spool pin up slightly from its horizontal position to easily place the thread spool on the pin. The thread should reel over the top, in a counterclockwise direction, as shown in the picture. Slide on a spool cap and then move the spool pin back to the horizontal position. Each machine comes with two spool caps on the spool pin. For medium sized thread spools, the medium sized cap (A) is placed in front of the spool. For large thread spools, the large cap (B) is placed 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 spool cap and thread spool. A small spool cap is included as an accessory for your machine. The small spool cap can be used for small thread spools. Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same way.

Use the handle to pull the needle threader all the way down, catching the thread under the guide (A). 2. Push back to bring the needle threader forward until the metal flanges cover the needle. A small hook will pass through the needle eye (B). 3. Place the thread under the flanges in front of the needle, so the thread catches into the small hook (C). 4. Let the needle threader gently swing back. The hook pulls the thread through the needle eye and forms a loop behind the needle. 5. Pull the thread loop out behind the needle. Note: The needle threader is designed to be used for size 70- 110 needles. You cannot use the needle threader for size 60 needles or smaller.
