1. Thread Spool Placement: Place the Amann Troja thread spool onto the spool pin of your sewing machine. Ensure the thread unwinds smoothly.
2. Threading the Machine: Follow your sewing machine's specific instructions for threading the upper thread. Guide the thread through all tension discs, guides, and the take-up lever.
