Threading the Machine

Before threading the machine, make sure you’ve selected quality thread for your project. Choosing

the right thread for the machine can prevent the thread from breaking or tangling up under the

needle plate. Note the following:

• This machine uses cone-style thread, not thread from a spool. Do not use spool thread unless

the spool accessory has been installed.

• Choose thread that is strong enough to pass the yank test, and re-test thread as it ages. Thread

strength can diminish over time.

Hold the cone in one hand and the end of thread in the other.

b. Give the thread a pull. If the thread snaps easily, it may be too brittle to use in the quilting

machine.
