  • Page 26: Manual Thread Cutter

    Manual Thread Cutter There are three manual thread cutters on your machine. The first one (A) is close to the bobbin winder spindle for cutting the thread before and after winding. The second one (B) is on the left side of the machine for manually cutting top and bobbin thread.
  • Page 27: Spool Pins

    Spool Pins Your machine has two spool pins; a main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all types of thread. Use the main spool pin (A) when threading the upper thread and for bobbin winding through the needle. For regular sewing and embroidery thread, use the main spool pin in vertical position.
  • Page 28: Needles

    Needles The sewing machine needle plays an important role in successful sewing. Use only quality needles. We recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package included with your machine contains needles of the most frequently used sizes. The Needle Guide, available in JoyOS ADVISOR™, let you learn more about different needles and the color coding used to define what type and size they are.
  • Page 29: Changing The Needle

    Changing the Needle 1. Use the hole in the multipurpose tool to hold the needle. 2. Loosen the needle screw with the universal tool. 3. Remove the needle. 4. Insert the new needle using the multipurpose tool. Push the new needle upwards with the flat side away from you until it will go no further.
  • Page 30: Threading

    Threading Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in the up position. Note: When using thread cones, place a cone holder on the spool pin before placing the thread cone. This prevents the thread cone from wobbling. Tip: When removing the thread cone from the spool pin, the cone holder might become stuck inside the thread cone.
  • Page 31 4. Pull the thread between the thread tension discs (D). Thread down through the right threading slot and then upwards through the left threading slot. Bring the thread from the right into the take-up lever (E) until it clicks into place (F), and down in the left threading slot to the last thread guide (G) just above the needle.
  • Page 32: Automatic Needle Threader

    Automatic Needle Threader Using the Automatic Needle Threader The needle threader allows you to thread the needle automatically by simply touching a button. Make sure that the needle is inserted correctly and pushed up all the way into the needle clamp before using the automatic needle threader.

  • Page 34: Threading For Twin Needle

    Threading for Twin Needle Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in the up position. Note: When using large thread cones on the auxiliary spool pin, place the large spool holder with the flat side up and a cone holder on the spool pin before adding the thread cone.
  • Page 35 3. Pull the threads between the thread tension discs (E). Make sure that you place one thread to the left and one to the right side of the tension discs. Thread down through the right threading slot and then upwards through the left threading slot. Bring the threads from the right into the take-up lever (F) until they click into place (G), and down in the left threading slot.
  • Page 36: Threading Tips And Hints

    Threading Tips and Hints There are many threads on the market today developed for different purposes. The quality and structure of the thread as well as the shape and size of the thread spool can affect the behavior of the thread. Threads can also behave differently if the spool is full or nearly empty.
  • Page 37: Bobbin Winding

    Bobbin Winding All types of thread, including specialty threads such as invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads, should be wound directly from the auxiliary spool pin without passing the needle and presser foot. Note: Always wind specialty threads at lower speed. Note: When using large thread cones, place the large spool holder with the flat side up and a cone holder on the auxiliary spool pin before adding the thread cone.
  • Page 38: Winding Through The Needle

    Winding Through the Needle When using the same thread in the needle and bobbin, it is convenient to wind a new bobbin directly through the needle without having to unthread/re-thread your machine. We do not recommend winding speciality threads such as invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads through the needle.
  • Page 39: Inserting The Bobbin

    Note: If you experience difficulty winding a bobbin through the needle and you are using a large thread cone, move the cone to the auxiliary spool pin and use the right clip on the telescopic thread guide instead. Place the large spool holder with the flat side up and a cone holder on the auxiliary spool pin before adding the thread cone.
  • Page 40: Integrated Dual Feed (Idf) System

    Integrated Dual Feed (IDF) System When sewing with multiple layers or more challenging fabrics you need an even feed from the top and the bottom and your machine has the ideal solution: the Integrated Dual Feed (IDF) System. The IDF System feeds the fabric from the top and bottom at the same time.
  • Page 41: Attaching The Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot

    Attaching the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot 1. Snap on the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot. 2. Insert the plug, with the three dots facing out, into the accessory socket at the back of the sewing head. Before using the automatic needle threader with the Sensor One-Step Buttonhole Foot attached, lift the wheel of the foot up to avoid damage to the needle threader and foot.
  • Page 42: Changing The Needle Plate

    Changing the Needle Plate The Straight Stitch Plate is used when using certain techniques in sewing mode, such as quilt piecing. The smaller hole in the Straight Stitch Plate supports the fabric closer to the needle and helps prevent the fabric from being pulled down into the bobbin area, especially at the beginning and/ or end of a seam.
