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). The horizontal

position is recommended for all threads. The vertical position can

be used for specialty threads.

Horizontal Position

Lift the spool pin up slightly from its horizontal position to easily

place the thread spool on the pin. The thread should reel over

the top, in a counterclockwise direction, as shown in the picture.

Slide on a spool cap and then move the spool pin back to the

horizontal position.

There are two spool caps on the spool pin. For medium sized

thread spools, the medium sized cap (A) is placed in front of the

spool. For large thread spools, the large cap (B) is placed in front

of the spool.

The ﬂ at side of the spool cap should be pressed ﬁ rmly against the

spool. There should be no space between spool cap and thread

spool.

Two extra spool caps, one small and one large, are also included

as accessories for your machine. The small spool cap can be used

for small thread spools. The second large spool cap can be used

when winding a bobbin from a second spool of thread or when

sewing with a twin needle.

Vertical Position

Lift the spool pin up and all the way to the right. Lock the spool

pin in the vertical position by slightly pressing it down. Slide on

the large spool cap. For spools smaller than the medium size

spool cap, place a felt pad under the thread spool to prevent the

thread from reeling off too fast. For larger spools, the felt pad

shall not be used.

NOTE: No spool cap should be placed on top of the

spool as this prevents the spool from rotating.

Auxiliary Spool Pin

The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin from a

second spool of thread or for a second spool when sewing with a

twin needle.

Lift the auxiliary spool pin up and to the left. Slide on the large

spool cap. For spools smaller than the medium size spool cap,

place a felt pad under the thread spool to prevent the thread from

reeling off too fast. For larger spools, the felt pad shall not be

used.
