GETTING READY ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

CAUTION

●If the spool or the spool cap is not positioned correctly, the thread may become tangled around the spool pin or the needle may break.

●Three spool cap sizes are available (large, medium and small), 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.

8While holding the spool with your right hand, pull the thread with your left hand, and then pass the thread behind the thread guide cover to the front.
