Change Thread Spools & Re-Thread
To quickly change thread colors, cut the thread currently being used just above the spool on the back of your
longarm.
1.
Remove the spool and replace it with the new color.
2.
Tie the new thread to the old thread with an overhand knot.
3.
Pull on the old thread while at the needle side of your longarm.
4.
Continue pulling the thread through the thread guides (including the Top Thread Break Sensor Wheel if
equipped).
5.
Depending on the thread thickness, you may be able to pull the knot through the needle. If the knot will not
pass through the needle hole, cut the knot off the thread and re-thread the needle.
NOTE: Take a moment to double check that the thread passed correctly through all thread
guides, is correctly wrapped clockwise around 1 and up to up to 3 times (if needed for
thinner/slick threads) around the Top Thread Break Sensor (if your machine is equipped),
and is firmly pulled between the tension disks before sewing.
11.
Make sure the needle is inserted
correctly. You can either pass the
thread inside and under the
hopping foot at this point, or you
can wait until your quilt is loaded
and you take your first stitch.
