Vertical Position
Raise the spool pin to the vertical position. Place a felt pad
under the thread spool. This is to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast. Do not place a spool cap on top of the
spool pin as that would prevent the spool from rotating.
Auxiliary Spool Pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin
thread from a second spool of thread or for a second spool
when sewing with a twin needle. Insert the auxiliary spool pin
into the hole at the top of the machine (A). Place a felt pad
under the thread spool.
Threading the Machine
Make sure that the presser foot is raised and the needle is in
its highest position.
1. Place a felt pad and the thread spool on the spool pin
and fit a spool cap of the right size and direction.
Note: Hold thread with both hands to prevent it from slacking
while threading. This ensures that the thread will be positioned
properly in the threading path.
2. Pull the thread under the thread guide (A) from the right
to the left.
3. Pull the thread from the right to left along the slot.
4. Pull the thread between the tension discs (B).
5. Thread down through the right-hand threading slot and
then upwards through the left-hand threading slot.
6. Bring the thread from the right into the take-up lever (C)
and down in the left-hand threading slot into the needle
thread guide (D).
7. Thread the needle.
