• When using thread that winds off quickly, such as
metallic thread, place the included spool net over the

Note
• It is recommended that rayon or polyester machine
embroidery thread be used (120 den/2, 135 dtex/2,
40 weight (in Americas and Europe), #50 (in
Japan)).

improper tension. In such a case, change the
thread.
• The path that the machine should be threaded is
indicated by a line on the machine. Be sure to
thread the machine as indicated.
