1. Place a cone or spool of thread on the spool pin. If using a spool, make sure that any slits on the spool
are against the base of the spool pin holder. Pass the thread through the thread-mast eyelet from back
to front, continuing to thread guide A.
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.
 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, causing 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.
