Easily Changing The Thread Spools - Brother 884-T20 Operation Manual

Note
• Touch needle bar key to move the needle
into the correct position for threading into
the new thread color. Refer to "Moving and
threading a selected needle bar" on
page 55.
• When the embroidering screen appears, the
needle bar settings are saved.
• If the needle bar settings are saved and the
next pattern that is opened contains thread
colors that are the same as those from the
previous pattern, the same needle bars will
be assigned the same thread colors from
the previous pattern.
• If you wish to delete all assigned color on
display refer to "To cancel the thread color
settings for all previously stitched design"
on page 93.
Memo
• To use a different thread color than the one
that was specified, use the temporary
needle bar setting key, and then change the
thread color setting. (For details, refer to
"Temporary Needle Bar Setting" on
page 119.)
• To minimize changing the thread spools,
frequently used thread colors can be
specifically assigned to certain needle bars.
(For details, refer to "Reserved Needle Bar
and Sewing Speed Settings" on page 120.)

Easily changing the thread spools

When replacing the thread spools, it is necessary
to re-thread the upper thread. However, the thread
spools can easily be changed when replacing a
thread spool whose thread is correctly threaded
through the machine.
Cut the thread between the thread spool
a
and the thread guide.

b Change the thread spool.
c Tie the end of the thread on the new spool
with the end of the thread remaining from
the previous color.
d Pull out the old thread just after the needle
bar thread guide.
Continue pulling the thread until the knot is above the
needle. Cut the knot.
e Use the automatic needle-threading
mechanism to thread the needle with the
new thread. (Refer to page 54.)
 This completes the changing of the thread spool.
Note
• When pulling out the thread, do not pull the
knot through the eye of the needle. If the
knot is pulled through the eye of the needle,
the needle may be damaged.
