Carefully pull the end of the thread that was
passed through the eye of the needle.
* If a loop was formed in the thread passed through
the eye of the needle, carefully pull on the loop of
thread through to the back of the needle.

the thread, and then pass it under the

Using Threads that Unwind
Quickly
■ Using the Spool Net
If using transparent nylon monofilament thread,
metallic thread, or other strong thread, place the
included spool net over the spool before using it.
When using specialty threads, threading must be
done manually.
If the spool net is too long, fold it once to match it to
the spool size before placing it over the spool.
• Pulling the loop of thread gently will avoid
needle breakage.
• If the needle could not be threaded or the
thread was not passed through the needle
bar thread guides, perform the procedure
again starting from step
c.
Then, pass the thread through the eye of
the needle after step
i.
• Some needles cannot be threaded with the
needle threader. In this case, instead of
using the needle threader after passing the
thread through the needle bar thread guide
(marked “6”), manually pass the thread
through the eye of the needle from the front
to the back.

• When threading the spool with the spool net
on, make sure that 5 cm - 6 cm (approx.
2 inches - 2-1/2 inches) of thread are pulled
out.
• It may be necessary to adjust the thread
tension when using the spool net.
