Shutter

The following diagram shows the shutter 
position when the presser foot is lowered. 
Since the shutter is closed when the presser 
foot is lowered, the machine cannot be 
threaded. Be sure to raise the presser foot so 
that the shutter is open in order to thread the 
machine.

Next, use the needle threader to thread the 
needle. Continue with the procedure in 
“Threading the needle” (on the next page).

●

If the spool or the spool cap is not 
positioned correctly, the thread may 
become tangled around the spool pin or 
the needle may break.

●

Three spool cap sizes are available (large, 
medium and small), allowing you to 
choose a spool cap that best fits the size 
of spool being used. If the spool cap is 
too small for the spool being used, the 
thread may catch on the slit in the spool 
or the needle may break.
