Spool pins Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all types of thread. The main spool pin is used in a horizontal position (the thread reels off the spool) and the auxiliary spool pin in a vertical position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for normal threads and the vertical position for large spools or specialty threads. Main spool pin Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool pin. Make sure that the thread reels off the spool counter clock-wise and slide on a second spool cap. Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same way. If you experience problems with the thread, turn the spool so that the thread reels off in the opposite direction or place the thread in the vertical position. Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread spool. For narrow thread spools, use a smaller spool cap in front of the spool. For large thread spools, use a larger spool cap in front of the spool. The flat side of the spool cap should be pressed firmly against the spool. There should be no space between the spool cap and the thread spool. Narrow thread spool Large thread spool Auxiliary spool pin The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin from a second spool of thread or for a second spool when sewing with a twin needle. Insert the auxiliary spool pin into the hole at the top of the machine (A). Slide on a large spool cap and place a felt pad under the thread spool. This is to prevent the thread from reeling off too fast. Do not place a spool cap on top of the spool pin as that would prevent the spool from rotating. Preparations Auxiliary spool pin 12
