Placing the Thread Spools on the Spool Pins A Place the thread spools over the cone holders on the spool pin. Firmly insert the spool holder into the spool. A. If sewing with small thread spools, remove the cone holders. Place the spool with its slit side up, and put the spool holder cap on top of it. B. If the thread slips down from the spool during thread- ing and/or sewing, put a net over the spool to avoid thread jams. B Changing Thread The following is an easy way to change threads: Cut the thread near the spool, behind the guides on the telescopic thread stand. Remove the thread spool and place the new thread on the spool pin. Tie the end of the new thread to the end of the old thread. Cut the thread tails to approx. 1″ (2-3cm) in length and firmly pull both threads to test knot security. Raise the presser foot. First note tension dial settings and then turn the tension dials down to "0". Pull the threads through the machine one at a time until the knots are in front of the needle. If the threads cannot be pulled easily, check for tangles on thread guides or looping under thread stand. Cut the thread behind the knot and thread the needle. Return tension dials to previous settings. If the Thread Breaks While Sewing If either of the upper or lower looper threads break while sewing, rethread both threads. Cut both looper threads above the threading holes, and remove the thread from the holes. Rethread the loopers following the instructions on page 14-17. GETTING READY TO SEW - 13
