It is possible to produce a cross-stitch using the thread spreader. The two
fingers of the thread spreader take hold of the thread between the sewing
material and the eye of the needle and place it under slight tension, at an angle
to the movement of the needle, in a groove in the needle plate.
After leaving the sewing material, the needle passes over this thread, the
needle thread is linked to the bobbin thread and needle thread presented by the
thread spreader lies under the link.

Setting the thread spreader (Fig. 16)
A t t e n t i o n !
Switch off machine electrically!
If correctly set, the thread spreader points cannot come into contact with the
needle plate, the plunger, the shuttle bridge, the needle or the sewing material.
Since if often happens that the insert tips break off, these can easily be
replaced.
New insert tips must be adapted to the machine and great care should be taken
that needle plate and tips are not damaged.
The insert tips can only be bent upwards from the middle, because the lower
end is hardened, and would break if bent.
Slowly turn machine by hand and check that thread spreader is running freely.
