Upper Threading - Brother PR1055X Operation Manual

CAUTION
• When (unlock key) in the
embroidering screen is touched, the "Start/
Stop" button begins flashing in green and the
machine can start embroidering. If the upper
threading is being performed or the needle is
being threaded, be careful that the machine is
not accidentally started, otherwise injuries
may result.

Upper threading

Use machine embroidery thread to thread the needle bars in
order, starting with needle bar 1.
CAUTION
• When threading the upper thread, carefully
follow the instructions. If the upper threading
is not performing correctly, the thread may
break or become tangled, causing the needle
to bend or break.
Note
• It is recommended that rayon or polyester machine
embroidery thread be used (120 den/2, 135 dtex/2,
40 weight (in Americas and Europe), #50 (in
Japan)).
• Certain types of thread may break or have
improper tension. In such a case, change the
thread.
Memo
• The path that the machine should be threaded is
indicated by a line on the machine. Be sure to
thread the machine as indicated.

a On the spool pin, place a spool with the thread color
specified for the corresponding needle bar.
• When using metallic thread or any other strong
thread, place the included spool net over the spool.
If the spool net is too long, fold it once to match the
size of the spool before placing it over the spool.
It may be necessary to adjust thread tension when
using the spool net.
• Check that the spool stand has been completely
opened.
• When using small spools of thread, be sure to place
the included spool mat on the spool pin before
placing the spool on the pin.
• Place the thread in the center of the spool stand so
that the thread feeds off of the spool correctly and
does not get tangled around the spool pin directly
under the thread spool.
• Use spool cap on all spools of thread shorter than the
height of the spool pin.
