EMBROIDERING TUTORIAL Upper threading Use machine embroidery thread to thread the needle bars in order, starting with needle bar 1. Touch → → → in order to view a video of the operation on the LCD (refer to page 232). 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)). On the spool pin, place a spool with the 1 thread color specified for the corresponding needle bar. 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. • 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. 56
