Upper Threading

This section describes how to position the spool for the upper thread, and then thread the needle.
CAUTION
● When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is
not correct, the thread may become tangled or the needle may bend or break.

About the spool of thread

Information about the spools of thread is described
below.
CAUTION
● Three spool cap sizes are available,
allowing you to choose a spool cap that
best fits the size of spool being used. If the
spool cap is too small for the spool being
used, the thread may catch on the slit in
the spool or the needle may break.
