Place the spool for the upper thread onto the 
spool pin.

Slide the spool onto the pin so that the spool is 
horizontal and the thread unrolls from the 
bottom front of the spool.

• If the spool is not positioned so that the 

thread unrolls correctly, the thread may 
become tangled around the spool pin.

Slide the spool cap onto the spool pin.

With the rounded side of the spool cap 
positioned toward the left, slide the spool cap 
onto the spool pin as far as possible until the 
right side of the spool touches the right end of 
the spool pin.

• Three spool cap sizes are available (large, 

medium and small). Use the spool cap with 
a diameter that is slightly larger than the 
diameter of the spool. The medium-sized 
spool cap is already on the spool pin when 
the sewing machine is purchased.
