EMBROIDERING TUTORIAL

Upper threading

Use machine embroidery thread to thread the needle bars in order, starting with needle bar 1.

On the spool pin, place a spool with the
thread color specified for the corresponding
needle bar.

• Check that the spool stand has been completely

opened.

• When using small spools of thread, be sure to place

the included spool mat on the spool pin before
placing the spool on the pin.

• Place the thread in the center of the spool stand so

that the thread feeds off of the spool correctly and
does not get tangled around the spool pin directly
under the thread spool.

CAUTION

• When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is not

performing correctly, the thread may break or become tangled, causing the needle to bend or break.

Note

• It is recommended that rayon or polyester

machine embroidery thread be used (120
den/2, 135 dtex/2, 40 weight (in Americas
and Europe), #50 (in Japan)).

Memo

• The path that the embroidery machine

should be threaded is indicated by a line on
the machine. Be sure to thread the machine
as indicated.
