Easily changing the thread spools
When replacing the thread spools, it is necessary
to re-thread the upper thread. However, the thread
spools can easily be changed when replacing a
thread spool whose thread is correctly threaded
through the machine.
a
Cut the thread between the thread spool
and the thread guide.
b
Change the thread spool.
c
Tie the end of the thread on the new spool
with the end of the thread remaining from
the previous color.
d
Pull out the old thread just after the needle
bar thread guide.
Continue pulling the thread until the knot is above the
needle. Cut the knot.
e
Use the automatic needle-threading
mechanism to thread the needle with the
new thread. (Refer to page 61.)
→ This completes the changing of the thread spool.
Memo
• To use a different thread color than the one
that was specified, use the temporary
needle bar setting key, and then change the
thread color setting. (For details, refer to
“Temporary Needle Bar Setting” on
page 142.)
• To minimize changing the thread spools,
frequently used thread colors can be
specifically assigned to certain needle bars.
(For details, refer to “Reserved Needle Bar
and Sewing Speed Settings” on page 143.)
Note
• When pulling out the thread, do not pull the
knot through the eye of the needle. If the
knot is pulled through the eye of the needle,
the needle may be damaged.
