Auxiliary Spool Pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when
winding a bobbin from a second spool
of thread or for a second spool when
sewing with a twin needle.
When using the auxiliary spool pin,
place the large spool holder and a felt
pad under the thread spool.
Threading the Upper Thread
Switch off the main switch.
When threading the upper thread, make
sure that the presser foot is raised and
the needle is in the up position.
1. Pull the spool pin out. Place the
spool on the spool pin with spool
holder (follow the instuctions on
previous page). The thread should
reel clockwise. Push the spool pin
back in.
Hold the thread near the spool using
your right hand. Use your left hand
to bring the end of the thread in
the direction of the arrows on the
machine.
2. Bring the thread into the pre-tension
thread guide (a). Bring the thread
down and up between the thread
tension discs (b).
3. Continue threading in the direction
indicated by the arrows. Bring the
thread from the right when threading
into the slot on the take-up lever.
4. Pull the thread into the last guide just
above the needle.
5. The needle is threaded from front to
back (see needle threader for further
instructions).
6. Place the thread under the presser
foot and into the thread cutter on the
left side of the machine, pull it down-
wards to cut it.
