Start sewing.
Memo
• To change direction when sewing with the twin
needle, raise the needle from the fabric, raise the
presser foot lever, and then turn the fabric.
Using the Spool Stand
The spool stand is useful when using thread on spools with a
large diameter (cross-wound thread). This spool stand can
hold two spools of thread.
Using the Spool Stand (Included with Some
Models)
• Be sure to use a spool cap
that is slightly larger than the
spool.
If the spool cap that is used is
smaller or much larger than
the spool, the thread may
catch and sewing
performance may suffer.
• When using thread on a thin
spool, place the included
spool felt on the spool pin,
place the thread spool on the
spool pin so that the center of
the spool is aligned with the
hole at the center of the spool
felt, and then insert the spool
cap onto the spool pin.
• When using thread on a cone
spool, use the spool holder.
When using cone shaped
thread spool with other than
cotton thread, it is not
necessary to use spool caps.
• Depending on the size of
spool or the amount of thread
remaining, choose the
appropriate sized spool cap
(large or medium). Spool cap
(small) cannot be used with
the spool cap base.

Attach the spool stand to the machine. (page 12)
Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so that the
thread feeds off the spool clockwise. Firmly insert the
spool cap onto the spool pin.
CAUTION
• Make sure that the spools do not touch each
other, otherwise the thread will not feed off
smoothly, the needle may break and cause
injury. In addition, make sure that the spools
do not touch the telescopic thread guide at the
center.
Note
• When using two spools of thread, make sure that
both spools are feeding in the same direction.
• Make sure that the thread is not caught under the
spool.
