Upper Threading

In this section, the procedures for positioning the spool for the upper thread and threading the needle are described.

CAUTION

When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is not correct, the thread may become tangled or the needle may bend or break.

About the spool of thread

With this sewing machine, a spool of thread can be loaded into the enclosed thread cassette, and then the thread cassette can be threaded. Information about the spools of thread is described below.

Spools that can be loaded into the thread cassette

Normally, a spool of thread is loaded into the thread cassette and used. The spools that can be loaded must have a diameter smaller than the orange spool cap and a height shorter than the mark on the cover of the thread cassette.

Spools that cannot be loaded into the thread cassette

When using spools that cannot be loaded into the thread cassette, use the enclosed extra spool pin.

When using the extra spool pin, attach either the large or small white spool cap, depending on the size of the spool. Use the spool cap with a diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter of the spool.
