Preparations
Small spool cap
Main spool pin in vertical position
Large spool cap
Spool pins
Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool
pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins
are designed for all types of thread. The main
spool pin is adjustable and can be used both in a
horizontal position (the thread reels off the spool)
and a vertical position (the thread spool rotates).
Use the horizontal position for normal threads and
the vertical position for large spools or specialty
threads.
Horizontal position
Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool
pin. Make sure that the thread reels off the spool
counter clock-wise and slide on a second spool cap.
Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same
way. If you experience problems with the thread, turn it
in the opposite way or use the vertical position.
Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread
spool. For narrow thread spools, use a smaller spool
cap in front of the spool. For large thread spools,
use a larger spool cap in front of the spool.

between the spool cap and the thread spool.
Vertical position
Raise the spool pin to the vertical position. Slide
on the large spool cap and place a felt pad under
the thread spool. This is to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast.
Do not place a spool cap on top of the spool pin as
that would prevent the spool from rotating.
Note: When the spool pin is used in the vertical position,
the thread tension might need to be adjusted manually.
Auxiliary spool pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a
bobbin thread from a second spool of thread or for a
second spool when sewing with a twin needle.
Raise the auxiliary spool pin. Slide on a large spool
cap and place a felt pad under the thread spool.
