Threading the Machine
Before threading the machine, make sure you’ve selected quality thread for your project. Choosing
the right thread for the machine can prevent the thread from breaking or tangling up under the
needle plate. Note the following:
• This machine uses cone-style thread, not thread from a spool. Do not use spool thread unless
the spool accessory has been installed.
• Choose thread that is strong enough to pass the yank test, and re-test thread as it ages. Thread
strength can diminish over time.
a. Hold the cone in one hand and the end of thread in the other.
Preparing to Quilt
b. Tug on the thread. If the thread snaps easily, it may be too brittle to use for quilting.
