SPOOL PINS

Your sewing machine has two spool pins, a
main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin.
B
The main horizontal spool pin (A) is used
for sewing with normal threads. The auxiliary
A
vertical spool pin (B) can be used for large
spools of thread or specialty threads. Also use
the vertical spool pin for bobbin winding.
Horizontal Position
Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the
spool pin. Make sure that the thread reels over
the top. Slide on a second spool cap, slightly
larger than the thread spool.
The fl at side of the spool cap should be
pressed fi rmly against the spool. There should
be no space between the spool cap and the
thread spool.
Vertical Position
The vertical spool pin is used when winding
a bobbin from a second spool of thread or
for a second spool when sewing with a twin
needle. It can also be used when you are
sewing with specialty threads.
Raise the spool pin to the vertical position.
Slide on the large spool cap and place a felt
pad under the thread spool to prevent the
thread from reeling off too fast. Place thread
spool on the spool pin.
Do not place a spool cap on top of the
vertical spool pin as it may prevent the spool
from rotating.
Note: When the spool pin is used in the vertical
position, the thread tension might need to be adjusted
manually.
