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.
o
Pull out about 5 cm (approx. 2 inches) of 
the thread, and then pass it under the 
presser foot toward the rear of the machine.
→ Raise the presser foot lever if the presser foot is 
lowered.

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.
Note
• Pulling the loop of thread gently will avoid 
needle breakage.
Memo
• 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
.
Note
• 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.

Memo
• 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.
