NOTE:
• Use "J" plastic bobbins for the horizontal hook
machines (marked with "J" r). Using other bobbins,
such as pre-wound paper bobbins, may cause stitching
problems and/or damage to the bobbin holder.
• Do not use the easy bobbin or metal bobbins.
Setting the spool of thread
Move the pop up spool pin lever to the right to raise the
spool pins (refer to page 12).
Place the spool of thread on the spool pin with the thread
coming off the spool as shown.
Attach the spool holder, and press it firmly against the
spool of thread.

e Large spool holder
Use the large spool holder for ordinary spools, and the
small spool holder for small spools.

NOTE:
• Avoid using a paper cored spool when it begins to
empty since it will not unwind smoothly. It may cause
the thread to bunch or slip when using the auto
thread cutter.
• If you use a slippery thread such as monofilament
transparent thread or elastic thread, put a net on the
spool of thread to prevent the thread from slipping
off the spool and jamming around the spool pin.
If the net is too long for the spool, fold the net and
place it on the spool.

Setting the thread cone
Use the spool rest and the spool net for thread cones.
Attach the spool rests on the spool pin.
Place the spool cone on the spool pin.
Cover the thread cone with the spool net if the thread is
shaky or kinky when sewing.
