Threading the Machine

Janome recommends that you select and use only high-quality threads for your quilts.
To thread the machine
Refer to the threading diagram on the next page.
1. Place thread cone onto spool post ①, insert the thread through the thread-mast eyelet ② from back
to front, conti nuing to the thread guide ③.
2. Conti nue to the three-hole thread guide ④. Wrap the thread through all three holes from back to
front, being careful not to cross threads. This is recommended for most threads. However, some very
delicate threads or metallic threads may require less tension. If you are having problems with thread
breaking, try threading only one or two holes of the three-hole thread guide.
3. The thread conti nues down to thread guide ⑤ and to the tension assembly ⑥.
 IMPORTANT: The thread must be fl ossed up between the two tension discs. If the thread is not
fi rmly in place between the two tension discs, the thread will lay on top of the tension discs (no
tension) and thread looping on the bott om of the quilt can occur.
