Using Threads that Unwind Quickly

Using the Spool Net

If using transparent nylon thread, metallic thread, or other strong thread, place the included spool net over the spool before using it. When using these threads, threading must be done manually.

If the spool net is too long, fold it once to match it to the spool size before placing it over the spool.

Memo

When threading the spool with the spool net on, the thread may not come out enough. Make sure that 5-6 cm (approx. 2 - 2-1/2 inches) of thread are pulled out.

It may be necessary to adjust the thread ten- sion when using the spool net.

Using the Vertical Spool Pin

Use the vertical spool pin when using an irregularly shaped thread spool, and when sewing or embroidering with metallic thread.

Memo

When setting the thread spool, set it so that the thread winds off from the front of the spool.

If using metallic thread, we recommend that you use a 90/14 home sewing machine nee- dle.

This method keeps the thread from twisting as it comes off the spool pin.
