Use when embroidering with metallic thread.

2. Install the spool felt and the thread spool in that order, and then thread the upper

Thread spool
*
When setting the thread spool, set it so that the thread winds off from the front of
the spool.
*
If using metallic thread, we recommend that you use a 90/14 home sewing
machine needle.
Note
This method keeps the thread from twisting as it comes off the spool pin.
Net
If using special threads which wind quickly off the thread spool, attach a net to the spool before using.
*
Cut the net to match the size of the spool.
