1. Place a cone or spool of thread on the spool pin. If us-
ing a spool, make sure that the slits on the spool are
against the base of the spool pin holder. Pass the thread
through the thread antennae eyelet from back to front,
continuing to thread guide A. (Figure 10)
2. Continue to the three-hole thread guide B. Beginning
at the top of the guide, wrap all three holes from back
to front, handwheel side to needle side being careful
not to cross threads. (see Figure 11).
NOTE: The purpose of the three-hole thread guide B is
to prevent loops of thread coming off the thread cone
from going into the top tension as a knot causing thread
breakage and bad tension. For most threads on a cone,
it is important to thread all three holes for consistent re-
sults and to make adjustments at the top tension assem-
bly. An exception to this rule is when working with very
delicate threads, such as holographic or threads that are
prone to breakage. You may try skipping one or two holes
on thread guide B when using these threads.
