CAUTION

●

When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is
not correct, the thread may become tangled or the needle may bend or break.

Never use a thread weight of 20 or lower.

Use the needle and the thread in the correct combination. For details on the correct
combination of needles and threads, refer to “FABRIC, THREAD, AND NEEDLE
COMBINATIONS” on page 24.

If the spool of thread is in the wrong
place, or is set incorrectly, the thread
may tangle on the spool pin and cause
the needle to break.
