foot will raise. You can now guide the fabric with
both hands.
Spool pins
Your 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 both in a
horizontal position (the thread reels off the spool)
and a vertical position (the thread spool rotates).
Use the horizontal position for normal threads and
the vertical position for large spools or specialty
threads.
Small spool cap
Horizontal position
Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool
pin. Make sure that the thread reels off the spool
counter clock-wise and slide on a second spool cap.
Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same
way. If you experience problems with the thread, turn it
in the opposite way or use the vertical position.
Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread
spool. For narrow thread spools, use a smaller spool
cap in front of the spool. For large thread spools,
use a larger spool cap in front of the spool.
Large spool cap
7KHÁDWVLGHRIWKHVSRROFDSVKRXOGEHSUHVVHG
ÀUPO\DJDLQVWWKHVSRRO7KHUHVKRXOGEHQRVSDFH
between the spool cap and the thread spool.
Vertical position
Raise the spool pin to the vertical position. Slide
on the large spool cap and place a felt pad under
the thread spool. This is to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast.
Do not place a spool cap on top of the spool pin as
that would prevent the spool from rotating.
Main spool pin in vertical position
Note: When the spool pin is used in the vertical position,
the thread tension might need to be adjusted manually.
Auxiliary spool pin
The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a
bobbin thread from a second spool of thread or for a
second spool when sewing with a twin needle.
Preparations
Raise the auxiliary spool pin. Slide on a large spool
cap and place a felt pad under the thread spool.

Note: Activate twin needle and select the correct twin
needle width in Settings menu. This will limit the width
of all stitches for that needle size to prevent damage to
presser foot and needle.
A
Note: The weight and irregular surface of specialty
threads such as metallic increases the amount of friction
on the thread. By reducing the tension, the risk of needle
breakage is prevented.
Note: Do not use asymmetrical twin needles (G), since it
may damage your sewing machine.

Note: Use needle size 90 and lightweight, soft cotton
bobbin thread when sewing handlook quilt stitches. You
might need to adjust the thread tension depending on
which fabric, thread and batting that is used. Make a few
tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going to sew
and check the tension.

Tip! Practice stippling on scraps of the fabric and batting
from your quilt. It is important to move the fabric at the
same rate as the sewing speed to prevent stitches that
are too long or too short. Maintaining a consistent speed
while free-motion sewing will also help keep stitches even.
To get an even speed, lower the sewing speed and press
the foot control.
