Set Up Spool pins and spool caps Your sewing machine has two spool pins; a main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all types of thread. The main spool pin is adjustable and can be used in a horizontal position (the thread reels off the stationary spool) or in a vertical position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for all regular sewing threads and the vertical position for large spools or specialty threads.
Set Up 1 A B D C E Threading the Upper Thread Make sure the presser foot is raised and the needle is in the up position. 1. Place the thread on the spool pin and the spool cap on the spool as described on page 12. 2. Spool pin in horizontal position: Bring the thread over and behind the pre-tension thread guide (A) and under the thread guide (B). 4. Continue threading in the direction indicated by the arrows. Bring the thread from the right into the slot on the take-up lever (D). 5.
Set Up Needle threader A The needle must be in the up position to use the built-in needle threader. We also recommend lowering the presser foot. B 1. Use the handle to pull the needle threader all the way down, catching the thread under the guide (A). 2. Push back to bring the needle threader forward until the metal Áanges cover the needle. A small hook will pass through the needle eye (B). 3. Place the thread under the Áanges in front of the needle, so the thread catches into the small hook (C).

Go to the SET Menu to adjust the thread tension for specialty thread, techniques or fabric (see page 28). Correct and incorrect thread tension For the best stitch appearance and durability make sure the needle thread tension is correctly adjusted, i.e. for general sewing, the threads evenly meet between the two fabric layers (1).
Set Up Lower the feed teeth The feed teeth are lowered when you move the switch on the front of the free arm to the right. Move the switch to the left if you wish to raise the feed teeth. The feed teeth will raise as you begin to sew. The feed teeth should be lowered when sewing on buttons and for free motion sewing. When embroidering, the feed teeth are lowered automatically as the embroidery unit is connected.
Set Up Needles The sewing machine needle plays an important role in successful sewing. To ensure you will get a quality needle, we recommend needles of system 130/705H. The needle package included with your machine contains needles of the most frequently used sizes for sewing on woven and stretch fabrics. A B C D 1 Universal needle (A) Universal needles have a slightly rounded point and come in a variety of sizes. For general sewing in a variety of fabric types and weights.
