Spool Pin - Husqvarna VIKING Onyx 15 User Manual

SPOOL PIN

Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all types of thre-
ad. The main spool pin is adjustable and can be used both in a horizontal position (the thread reels off the spool) and a vertical
position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for regular sewing threads and the vertical position for large
spools or specialty threads.
Main Spool Pin
Place the thread spool on the spool pin. Make sure that the
thread reels off the spool counter clockwise and slide on
a spool cap. Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread
spool. For narrow thread spools (A), use a smaller spool cap
in front of the spool. For large thread spools (B), use a larger
spool cap in front of the spool. The flat side of the spool cap
should be pressed firmly against the spool. There should be
no space between the spool cap and the thread spool.
Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same way. If you
experience problems with the thread, turn it in the opposite way or use the
vertical position.
Auxiliary Spool Pin
The Auxiliary Spool Pin is used when winding a bobbin thread
from a second spool of thread or when sewing with large
spools or with specialty threads. Insert the Auxiliary Spool Pin
into the designated hole at the top of the machine (A). Place a
felt pad under the thread spool. This is to prevent the thread
from reeling off too fast. Do not place a spool cap on top of
the spool pin as that would prevent the spool from rotating.
