ETTING THE SPOOLS
The Butterfly B1501B/T is a
15-color machine meaning it can hold
up to 15 different spools of thread.
Generally, most users will use 15
different colors of thread designating
at least 6 of the colors for basics such
as white, black, red, blue, green,
yellow, etc. There are various brands
and types of threads. The most
common types are
Rayon and
Polyester . Rayon is a softer but
weaker thread. Typically, polyester
(or “poly”) is recommended due to its
strength which also reduces thread
breaks.
Step A – Begin by placing 15 spools of
thread on the thread stand. Refer to
Figure 2-7.
Step B – Take the first spool (1)
thread and pass it through eyelet ‘2’
in the image followed by ‘3’ then ‘4’.
Step C – Take the second spool (5)
thread and pass it through eyelet ‘6’
in the image followed by ‘7’.
Step D - Take the third spool thread
(8) and pass it through eyelet ‘9’ in
the image
Step E – Continue with the next spool
in sequence (to the right of spool 1). Continue till the entire thread rack is threaded.
You can choose to thread the tension knob while threading the thread rack or, wait till the entire thread
rack is threaded and then thread the rest of the machine (proceeding pages).
