When using threads on cones or king spools place the cone or
spool securely over the cone holders furnished on your machine.
To avoid bending the thread stand, you may need to place one hand
under the stand while positioning the cone. The cone holders pre-
vent the cone or spool from spinning, enabling the thread to feed
evenly (fig.A).
Because threads for the serger feed from the top, standard spool
threads can snag on the rough edges of many of these spools.
That's why spool caps are furnished with your Imagine Wave to pro-
vide a smooth surface that enables the thread to reel off freely. With
the spool notch side down, insert a spool cap into the top of the
spool (fig.B).
When using standard spool threads on your serger, replace the
cone holders with the sponge disks furnished with your machine.
These disks hold smaller spools securely and help the thread to reel
off properly. With the sponge disk in place, put the capped spool on
the spindle (fig.C).
Thread nets may be placed over threads that tend to slip off the bot-
tom of the spool during sewing. Most threads do not require their
use, but nets often are necessary with nylon, rayon or silk threads
(fig.D). Once it's on the spool, fold the net back on itself, if neces-
sary, to enable the thread to feed smoothly without snagging on the
net (fig.E).
