 NOTE: The purpose of the three-hole thread guide B is to prevent loops of thread coming off the thread
cone from going into the top tension as a knot causing thread breakage and bad tension. For most threads
on a cone, it is important to thread all three holes for consistent results and to make adjustments at
the top tension assembly. An exception to this rule is when working with very delicate threads, such as
holographic or threads that are prone to breakage. You may try skipping one or two holes on thread guide
B when using these threads.
3. Thread continues through thread guide C, and then
down to the tension assembly (see Figure 13).
 NOTE: It is important that the thread is flossed
between the two tension discs. If the thread
is not firmly in place between the two tension
discs, the thread will rest on the outside of the
tension discs (without tension) and looping on
fabric or thread nests may occur.
4. Once the thread is in place, be sure that the thread
catches on the take-up spring and then pull it down
under the stirrup thread guide D.
5. Bring the thread back up through the take-up lever
from back to front, and then down through thread
guide E. Pull the thread at the take-up lever to ensure
that it is properly flossed between the tension disks.
If it is properly flossed in the tension disks you should
feel some resistance as you pull the thread. If thread
is not properly in the tension disks, then the thread
will pull freely with no tension. If this is the case, then
rethread the machine.
6. Pull the thread down to the needle thread guide and
thread through the hole for thread guide F (see
Figure 13).
7. Make sure the thread is following the groove down
the front of the needle and insert thread through the
eye of the needle from front to back. Be careful that
the thread does not twist around the needle.
