Upper Threading

In this section, the procedures for positioning the spool for the upper thread and threading the needle are 
described.

About the spool of thread

With this sewing machine, a spool of thread can be 
loaded into the enclosed 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 enclosed 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.

Memo

●

For details on using the extra spool pin, 
refer to “ Using the extra spool pin”  
(page 24).

●

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.
