Placing the Thread Spools on the
Spool Pins
B
A
Place the thread spools over the cone holders on the spool
pin. Firmly insert the spool holder into the spool.
Note: If the spools are very large, place the cone holders up-side-down on
the spool pin.
A. If sewing with small thread spools, remove the cone
holders. Place the spool with its slit side up, and put the
spool cap on top of it.
B. If the thread slips down from the spool during threading
and/or sewing, put a net over the spool to avoid thread
jams.
Changing Thread
To change the threads, re-thread the needles as described in section
Threading the Needles, page 25, and the loopers using the air threading
system as described in section Threading the Loopers, page 32.
The following is another easy way to change threads:
Cut the thread near the spool, behind the guides on the
telescopic thread stand.
Remove the thread spool and place the new thread on the
spool pin.
Tie the end of the new thread to the end of the old thread.
Cut the thread tails to approx. 1″ (2-3cm) in length and
firmly pull both threads to test knot security.
Raise the presser foot, to release the thread tension.
Pull the threads through the machine one at a time until the
knots are in front of the needle. If the threads cannot be
pulled easily, check for tangles on thread guides or looping
under thread stand.
Tip: By turning the handwheel a least a turn away from you, and
pulling the threads straight backwards, you might find it easier to pull
through the threads.
Cut the thread behind the knot and thread the needle.
Note: Do not use this method for heavy weight threads, instead thread
according to recommendations on page 35.
