HQ Sixteen™ User Manual 1.6 Page 10Diagram GThreading the Machine1. Place cone or spool of thread on spool pin. Pass the thread through the thread masteyelet from back to front, continuing to thread guide A.2. Continue to three-hole thread guide B. Wrap all three holes from back to front,handwheel side to needle side (see Detail 1 below).Note: The purpose of this guide is to prevent loops of thread coming off the threadcone from going into the top tension as a knot causing thread breakage and badtension. For most threads on a cone, it is important to thread all three holes forconsistent results – should top thread tension need to be adjusted it should be done atthe top tension assembly.3. Thread continues through thread guide C, and then down to the tension assembly(see Detail 2 below).NOTE: It is important that the thread is “flossed” up between the two tension discs. Ifthe thread is not firmly in place between the two tension discs, the thread rests on theoutside of the tension discs (without tension) and looping on fabric or thread nests mayoccur.4. Once the thread is in place, be sure that the thread catches on the take up spring andthen pull it down under the stirrup (thread guide D).
