1. Place a cone or spool of thread on the spool pin.
Pass the thread through the thread-mast eyelet
from back to front, continuing to thread guide A.
(Figure 13)
2. Continue to the three-hole thread guide B. Wrap
all three holes from back to front, hand wheel side
to needle side (see Figure 14).
Note: The purpose of the three-hole thread guide B
is to prevent loops of thread coming off the thread
cone from going into the top tension as a knot
causing thread breakage and bad tension. For most
threads on a cone, it is important to thread all three
holes for consistent results and to make adjustments
at the top tension assembly. An exception to this
rule is when working with very delicate threads,
such as holographic or threads that are prone to
breakage, in which case you may try skipping one or
two holes on thread guide B.
