Spool Pins; Spool Cap - Singer SE9150 Instruction Manual

Spool Pins

Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool pin and an aux-
iliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for various types
of thread. The main spool pin is used in a horizontal position
(the thread reels off the spool) and the auxiliary spool pin in a
vertical position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal
position for normal threads and the vertical position or special-
ty threads and second thread spool when using twin needle.
Main Spool Pin
Place the thread spool on the spool pin. Make sure that the
thread reels off the spool counter clockwise and slide on a
spool cap. Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread spool.
For narrow thread spools (A), use a smaller spool cap in front
of the spool. For large thread spools (B), use a larger spool
cap in front of the spool. The flat side of the spool cap should
be pressed firmly against the spool. There should be no space
between the spool cap and the thread spool.
Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same way.
If you experience problems with the thread, turn it in the oppo-
site way or use the vertical position.
Auxiliary Spool Pin
The Auxiliary Spool Pin is used when winding a bobbin thread
from a second spool of thread or when sewing with specialty
threads. Insert the Auxiliary Spool Pin into the designated hole
at the top of the machine. Place a felt pad under the thread
spool. This is to prevent the thread from reeling off too fast.
Do not place a spool cap on top of the spool pin as that would
prevent the spool from rotating.

Spool Cap

Spool caps in three sizes are included with your machine. If
the thread is snagging on the top of the thread spool, place a
spool cap on top. Always use a spool cap slightly larger than
the thread spool to prevent the thread from snagging. The flat
side of the spool cap should be pressed firmly against the spool.
There should be no space between the spool cap and the thread
spool.
