OTHER BASIC PROCEDURES Memo • To use a different thread color than the one that was specified, use the temporary needle bar setting key, and then change the thread color setting. (For details, refer to "Temporary Needle Bar Setting" on page 142.) • To minimize changing the thread spools, frequently used thread colors can be specifically assigned to certain needle bars. (For details, refer to "Reserved Needle Bar and Sewing Speed Settings" on page 143.) Easily changing the thread spools When replacing the thread spools, it is necessary to re-thread the upper thread. However, the thread spools can easily be changed when replacing a thread spool whose thread is correctly threaded through the machine. Cut the thread between the thread spool a and the thread guide. Pull out the old thread just after the needle d bar thread guide. 3 Continue pulling the thread until the knot is above the needle. Cut the knot. Use the automatic needle-threading e mechanism to thread the needle with the new thread. (Refer to page 61.) → This completes the changing of the thread spool. Note • When pulling out the thread, do not pull the knot through the eye of the needle. If the knot is pulled through the eye of the needle, the needle may be damaged. Change the thread spool. b Tie the end of the thread on the new spool c with the end of the thread remaining from the previous color. 115
