Janome 15000 User Manual

If you use a slippery thread such as monofilament 
transparent thread, put the net on the spool of thread 
to prevent the thread from slipping off the spool and 
jamming around the spool pin.

Open the top cover.
Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the 
spool pin. 
Attach the large spool holder, and press it firmly against 
the spool of thread.

NOTE:
Use the small spool holder to hold narrow or small
