6Place the spool for the upper thread onto the spool pin.

Slide the spool onto the pin so that the spool is horizontal and the thread unrolls from the bottom front of the spool.

•If the spool is not positioned so that the thread unrolls correctly, the thread may become tangled around the spool pin.

7Slide the spool cap onto the spool pin. With the rounded side of the spool cap positioned toward the left, slide the spool cap onto the spool pin as far as possible until the right side of the spool touches the right end of the spool pin.

• Three spool cap sizes are available (large, medium and small). Use the spool cap with a diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter of the spool. The medium-sized spool cap is already on the spool pin when the sewing machine is purchased.
