Upper Threading
In this section, the procedures for positioning the spool for the upper thread and threading the needle are
described.
CAUTION
About the spool of thread
With this sewing machine, a spool of thread can be
loaded into the thread cassette, and then the thread
cassette can be threaded. Information about the
spools of thread is described below.
■ Spools that can be loaded into the thread
cassette
Normally, a spool of thread is loaded into the
thread cassette and used. The spools that can be
loaded must have a diameter smaller than the
orange spool cap and a height shorter than the
mark on the cover of the thread cassette.

■ Spools that cannot be loaded into the thread
cassette
When using spools that cannot be loaded into the
thread cassette, use the extra spool pin.
When using the extra spool pin, attach either the
large or small white spool cap, depending on the
size of the spool. Use the spool cap with a
diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter
of the spool.

to "Using the extra spool pin" (page 29).
z When using a spool of cross-wound thread,
install the small white spool cap with some
space between the cap and the spool.

● When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is
not correct, the thread may become tangled or the needle may bend or break.
