z
When using thread that winds off quickly,
such as transparent nylon thread or metallic
thread, place the spool net over the spool
before placing the spool of thread onto the
spool pin. If the spool net is too long, fold it
to fit the size of the spool.
When the spool net is used, the upper thread
tension may become tighter. Before
embroidering, refer to "Adjusting the upper
thread tension" (page 64).
