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

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.

For larger spools, the felt pad is not needed.
Note: No spool cap should be placed on top of the spool as this prevents the
spool from rotating.
