Place the spool of thread for the bobbin onto
the spool pin.
Slide the spool onto the pin so that the spool is
horizontal and the thread unwinds to the front at the
bottom.
If the spool is not positioned so that the
thread unwinds correctly, the thread may
become tangled around the spool pin.
g
Slide the spool cap onto the spool pin.
Slide the spool cap as far as possible to the right, as
shown, with the rounded side on the left.
CAUTION
Memo
z When embroidering with fine, cross-wound
thread, use the small spool cap, and leave a
small space between the cap and the spool.

z When using thread that winds off quickly,
such as transparent nylon thread or metallic
thread, place the spool net over the spool
before placing the spool of thread onto the
spool pin.
If the spool net is too long, fold it to fit the
size of the spool.

If the spool or the spool cap is not
installed correctly, the thread may
become tangled around the spool pin,
causing the needle to break.
Three spool cap sizes are available,
allowing you to choose a spool cap that
best fits the size of spool being used. If the
spool cap is too small for the spool being
used, the thread may catch on the slit in
the spool or the needle may break.
