1 Bobbin winder shaft

2 Extra spool pin

3 Thread spool

■Twin needle threading

You should thread each needle separately.

Note

●You cannot use the needle threader to thread the twin needle. Instead, thread the twin needle by hand, from front to back. Using the needle threader may damage the machine (see page 22).

1Thread the upper thread for the right side in the same way that the upper thread for the left side was threaded.

2Thread the left needle.

Thread the right needle in the same way that you threaded the left needle using the thread from the spool on the extra spool pin, but do not pass the thread through the guide above the needle before you pass it through the eye of the right needle.

4Attach zigzag foot “J”.

For details on changing the presser foot, refer to “Changing the presser foot” on page 8.

CAUTION

●When using the twin needle, be sure to attach zigzag foot “J”, otherwise the needle may break or the machine may be damaged.

5Turn on the machine.6Select a stitch.

CAUTION

●After adjusting the stitch width, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) and check that the needle does not touch the presser foot. If the needle hits the presser foot, the needle may bend or break.

●When using the twin needle, make sure the stitch width is not set above “2.5” since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break.
