Lost Spool pin and cap for QuikStitch SP-402

I borrowed the machine from my sister and it is missing the spool pin and cap, but I do have the spool stand. Is there anything else I can use as a spool pin and do I really need the spool cap? If I have to get these exact pieces, does anyone know if and where I can order only these parts? Thanks

Welcome to FixYa. If you have a spool stand, that might work as long as you can thread the machine properly (give it a try!). When the thread is placed on the machine's spool pin, the spool cap keeps the thread in place and helps the thread unwind evenly - so if you are using a spool pin, you really do need a spool cap.

If the spool stand works, you are good to go. If you need to order replacement parts, I've provided a link the manufacturer's website. From there, you can contact customer support and find out if parts are available. If you can't order replacement parts, ask customer service if the machine is compatible with another brand. Another option would be to buy a spool pin and cap at a sewing machine dealer. Take the machine with you and and make sure the parts fit before you buy them.

Here's the link to the site I mentioned:

What causes thread shredding/breakage on the top part of the machine? I guess near or on the tension? I have a Brother Quattro.

If you're using the horizontal spool pin, be sure the spool is inserted onto the spool pin in the proper orientation. Per the manual; Set the thread spool on the spool pin so that the thread unwinds from the front of the spool.

Horizontal spools require the spool cap be equal or greater in size than the spool diameter. Using a smaller cap may result in the thread snagging on the spool edge.

Be sure to follow threading instructions exactly.

Always try different manufacturer thread to eliminate the possibility of weak or bad thread.

Can't figure out how to fill the bobbin

hi Beverly.

Always wind the bobbin before threading the machine and needle.
  1. Place spool of thread on spool pin.

  3. Push bobbin winder pin to far left if it is not already there.

Do not know how to replace spool pin and spool cap

It looks like it might just snap into place. Of course that means you have to remove the broken bits which may require a drill, small bit and needle nose pliers.

How do you replace the spool pin on a babylock ellure sewing machine

Place the cone of thread on your right, at the back of the machine. Bring the thread up and behind the bobbin winder spindle. (where the bobbin sits) Place the largest spool cap on the empty horizontal spool pin and take the thread through the hole of the spool cap. From this point thread the machine normally. This and many other common questions are found on this link click here http://www.babylock.com/support/FAQ/?FAQ=2 If you have any further questions message me back Thanks Rick

The needle continues to become unthreaded. It seems the tension on the thread from the spool is too tight. However, the tension adjuster dosen't seem to work. Any suggestions? Shelly

Remove the spool and see if the thread got wound around the spindle. Does this machine require a 'splitter disc'? Needle and thread sizes compatible? Could you have missed a step in threading the machine?
