1. Place a cone or spool of thread on the spool pin.
If using a spool, make sure that the slits on the spool

are against the base of the spool pin holder. Pass the

thread through the thread-stand eyelet from back to
front, continuing to thread guide A. (Figure 8)
2. Continue to the three-hole thread guide B.
Beginning at the top, wrap all three holes from back to
front, hand wheel side to needle side (see Figure 9).
Note: The purpose of the three-hole thread guide B is to

prevent loops of thread coming off the thread cone from

going into the top tension as a knot can cause thread

breakage and bad tension. For most threads on a cone,
it is important to thread all three holes for consistent
results and to make adjustments at the top tension
assembly. An exception to this rule is when working with
very delicate threads, such as holographic or threads
that are prone to breakage. You may try skipping one or
two holes on thread guide B when using these threads.
