USING THE EXTRA SPOOL PIN AND NET
Extra spool pin
Use when embroidering with metallic thread.
1. Insert the extra spool pin into the hole on the top of the machine.
2. Install the spool felt and the thread spool in that order, and
then thread the upper thread.
* Do not thread the thread onto bracket (A).
* When sewing using the metallic thread, set thread tension
control dial (B) to the "0" position.
* When setting the thread spool, set it so that the thread
winds off from the front of the spool.
* If using metallic thread, we recommend that you use a 90/14
home sewing machine needle.

before you start embroidering.
CAUTION
Always be sure to raise the presser foot
before removing the upper thread to prevent
damage to the thread tension system.
