CAUTION

If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set incorrectly, the thread may tangle on the spool pin and cause the needle to break.

Use the spool cap (large, medium, or small) that is closest in size to the thread spool. If a spool cap smaller than the thread spool is used, the thread may become caught in the slit on the end of the spool.
