SETTING UP THE MACHINE Threading the Machine Setting Spool of Thread on Spool Pin 1. Pull up the left end of spool pin and set the felt pad and the spool of thread on spool pin so that the thread unrolls from the front of the spool. 2. Set the spool cap on spool pin as far as it will go. a. Reverse spool cap direction according to the size of spool. b. Use the small spool cap when using smaller thread spools. c. Set the thread net over the spool if thread unrolls too easily or if the thread becomes caught or twisted in the thread guide. NOTE: Thread spools come in a variety of styles and sizes. The thread spool cap should allow the thread to feed freely, yet hold the spool securely on the spool pin. Different thread spools can give different results, depending on the spool cap you place in front of the thread. If the thread is not feeding freely or it is getting caught behind the spool pin or in the threading guides, try different sizes of spool cap to find the one that best suits the thread spool being used. O IN* THREADING THE NEEDLE Preparing to Thread Machine 1. Raise the presser foot lifter. 2. Raise the needle to highest position by turning the handwheel toward you. (Keep this position for threading the eye of the needle.) NOTE: It is very important to raise the presser foot lifter before you thread the machine. Not doing so will likely result in poor stitch quality, or excessive thread loops on the underside of the fabric. Always raise the presser foot lifter before you begin threading the machine.

Threading
the
Machine
EN
Setting
Spool
of
Thread
on
Spool
Pin
1.
Pull
up
the
left
end
of
spool
pin
and
set
the
felt
pad
and
the
spool
of
thread
on
spool
pin
so
that
the
thread
unrolls
from
the front
of
the
spool.
2.
Set
the
spool
cap
on
spool
pin
as
far
as
it
will
go.
a.
Reverse
spool
cap
direction
according
to
the
size
of
spool.
b.
Use
the
small
spool
cap
when
using
smaller thread
spools.
c.
Set
the
thread
net
over
the
spool
if
thread
unrolls
too
easily
or
if
the
thread
becomes
caught
or
twisted
in
the
thread
guide.
NOTE:
Thread
spools
come
in
a
variety
of
styles
and
sizes.
The
thread
spool
cap
should
allow
the
thread
to
feed
freely,
yet
hold
the
spool
securely
on
the
spool
pin. Different
thread
spools
can
give
different
results,
depending
on
the
spool
cap
you
place
in
front
of
the
thread.
If
the
thread
is
not
feeding
freely
or
it
is
getting
caught
behind
the
spool
pin
or
in
the
threading
guides,
try
different
sizes
of
spool
cap to
fi
nd
the
one
that
best
suits
the
thread
spool
being
used.
THREADING
THE
NEEDLE
Preparing
to
Thread
Machine
1.
Raise the
presser
foot
lifter.
2.
Raise
the
needle
to
highest
position
by
turning
the
handwheel
toward

eye
of
the
needle.)
NOTE:
It
is
very
important
to
raise
the
presser
foot
lifter
before
you
thread
the
machine.
Not
doing
so
will
likely
result
in
poor
stitch
quality,
or
excessive
thread
loops
on
the
underside
of
the
fabric.
Always
raise
the
presser
foot
lifter
before
you
begin
threading
the
machine.
Threading

Hold
thread
in
both
hands
and
pass
thread
into
the
guide
from
front
opening.
2.
Bring
thread
backward
and
pass
through
the
slit
from
right
to
left.
3.
Bring
thread
to
the
left
and
pull
thread
down
toward
you
along
the
slit.
4.
Pull
the
thread around
the
U-turn,
then
bring
it
