Extra spool pin
When embroidering with metallic thread, use the extra spool pin in order to prevent
the thread from twisting as it unrolls from the spool.
Note
When using metallic thread, we recommend using a 90/14 home sewing machine
needle.
1. Insert the extra spool pin onto the end of the bobbin winder shaft.
2. Place the spool felt on the spool pin.
3. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so that the thread unrolls from the front
of the spool.
4. Thread the upper thread.

When using special threads that quickly wind off the spool, place a net over the spool before sewing. Be

Pulling up the bobbin thread
At some times, for example when making gathers, you may want to pull up the bobbin thread.
