Your Platinum

3000 is capable of sewing with many types of

threads. One thing to keep in mind is this machine is an industrial

machine, so very light threads will be harder to use than the more

traditional machine quilting threads. To use other threads you will

need to adjust the tension and slow down.

1. Place a cone of thread on the thread holder.

2. Place the thread in the thread guide directly above the spool of

thread (g. 37).

3. Thread upper thread guide (g 38) and side thread guide (g. 39) if

you use all three holes it will add drag/tension to the thread.

4. Raise your presser foot. Take thread between the two tension discs

from back to front all the way around.

5. While holding the thread up over the top of the tension assembly,

hook the check spring. The tension spring should come down as

you pull thread downward (g. 40).

6. Place thread under the silver angle bracket (g. 41).

7. Bring the thread up to thread guide #6 above the tension

assembly. You will be able to slide the thread into this thread guide

(g. 42).

8. Thread the take up lever from back to front (g. 43).

9. Bring the thread down the front of the machine snapping the thread

into thread guide #8 and thread guide #9 on the way down to the

needle (g. 44 & g. 45).

10. Put the thread thru the Thread eyelet above the needle (g. 46).

11. Thread the needle from the front to the back of the needle (g. 47).
