1. Place a cone or spool of thread on the spool pin. If
using a spool, make sure that the slits on the spool are
against the base of the spool pin holder. Pass the thread
through the thread-stand eyelet from back to front,
continuing to thread guide A. (Figure 8)
2. Continue to the three-hole thread guide B. Beginning
at the top, wrap all three holes from back to front, hand
wheel side to needle side (see Figure 9).
Note:
The purpose of the three-hole thread guide B is to
prevent loops of thread coming off the thread cone from going
into the top tension as a knot can cause thread breakage
and bad tension. For most threads on a cone, it is important
to thread all three holes for consistent results and to make
adjustments at the top tension assembly. An exception to
this rule is when working with very delicate threads, such as
holographic or threads that are prone to breakage. You may try
skipping one or two holes on thread guide B when using these
threads.
