3. Place a spool of thread on the horizontal spool pin and press a
spool cap onto the spool pin to hold the thread spool firmly in
place.
The thread end should come from the bottom front of the spool.
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.
CAUTION
Be sure to thread the machine properly. Improper threading
can cause the thread to tangle and break the needle, leading
to injury.
4. Deliver the upper thread as shown in this diagram.
5. Make sure to guide the thread through the thread take-up lever
from the right to the left.

6. Place thread behind the guide above the needle.
NOTE:
If the thread take-up lever is lowered, the upper thread can not be
wrapped around the thread take-up lever. Be sure to raise the
Presser Foot Lever and the thread take-up before feeding the upper
thread.
Incorrectly feeding the thread may cause sewing problems.
