Note
• When using thread that quickly winds off
the spool, such as metallic thread, it may be
difficult to thread the needle if the thread is
cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread
cutter, pull out about 80 mm (approx. 3
inches) of thread after passing it through the
thread guide disks (marked “7”).
