Threading for twin needle
Replace the sewing needle with a twin needle. Make
sure that the presser foot is raised and the needle is
in the up position.
1.
Place the thread on the spool pin and fit a spool
cap of the right size. Raise the auxiliary spool
pin. Slide on a large spool cap and a felt pad.
Place the second thread on the spool pin.
Note: Hold threads with both hands to prevent them from
slacking while threading. This ensures that the threads
will be positioned properly in the threading path.
2.
Pull the threads into the thread guide by pulling
them from the front to the back (A). Make
sure the threads click into place. Then pull the
threads underneath the bobbin winder thread
guide (B) on the pre-tension disc (C).
3.
Thread down through the right-hand threading
slot and then upwards through the left-hand
threading slot. Make sure that you pass one
thread to the left and one thread to the right
sides of the tension disk (F).
4.
Bring the threads from the right into the take-up
lever (D) and down in the left-hand threading
slot. Make sure that one thread is inside the
needle thread guide (E) and the other one
outside. Make sure that the threads do not
become twisted together.
5.
Thread the needles.
Note: Activate twin needle and select the correct twin
needle width in Settings menu. This will limit the width
of all stitches for that needle size to prevent damage to
presser foot and needle.
Note: The weight and irregular surface of specialty
threads such as metallic increases the amount of friction
on the thread. By reducing the tension, the risk of needle
breakage is prevented.
Note: Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (G), since it
may damage your sewing machine.
Thread sensor
When the bobbin thread is running low, the
machine stops and a pop-up appears on the screen.
Replace with a wound bobbin and continue sewing.
Note: When the bobbin thread is almost empty, the
bobbin thread low pop-up appears on the screen. You can
continue sewing without closing the pop-up before the
bobbin thread runs out completly.
