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 and cause the needle to break. Memo • When sewing with fine, cross-wound thread, use the small spool cap, and leave a small space between the cap and the thread spool. a Spool cap (small) b Thread spool (cross-wound thread) c Space f While holding the thread with both hands, pull the thread up from under the thread guide plate. a Thread guide plate g While holding the thread in your right hand, pass the thread through the thread guide in the direction indicated. h Guide the thread down, up, then down through the groove, as shown in the illustration.
