Spool
Pins
Your l)esigner

There are
two spool
holders on
the spool pin, one
large
(a)
and
one
small
(h)
Depending on what
thread
spool size
or
which spool
pin position you are
using,
the
spool holders
are
used
differently. Use
the hori
zontal
position for normal
threads
and
the verti

position for large
spools
or threads
with
special characteristics.
Horizontal
Position
When using the
pin in horizontal position

Auxilary Spool
Pin
The auxilary
spool
pin is used
when winding
a
bobbin from a second
spool of
thread or for
a
second spool
when
sewing
with
a
twin needle.
When
