How to Use the Spool Cap and Spool Net

Check the spool to be used, and prepare the necessary parts.

Spool Cap

Three spool cap sizes are available, allowing you to choose a spool cap that best fits the size of spool being used.

When using the spool as shown in the illustration, use the thread spool insert (mini king thread spool). Make sure that the thread spool insert is firmly inserted. After installing it, pull out some thread, and check that the thread unwinds without getting caught.

  1. Thread spool insert (mini king thread spool)
  2. Hole diameter 8.0 mm to 10.5 mm (approx. 5/16 inch to 13/32 inch)
  3. Spool (cross-wound thread)

Spool Net

When using thread that winds off quickly, such as transparent nylon thread or metallic thread, place the spool net over the spool before placing the spool of thread onto the spool pin.
If the spool net is too long, fold it to fit the size of the spool.

  1. Spool net
  2. Thread spool
  3. Spool pin
  4. Spool cap

    When threading the spool with the spool net on, make sure that 5-6cm (approx. 2 - 2-1/2 inches) of thread is pulled out.

    It may be necessary to adjust the thread tension when using the spool net.
