Note
• When using thread that quickly winds off the spool,
such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread
the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull
out about 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after
passing it through the thread guide disks (marked
“7”).
