Can someone tell me how to take off the dark blue cover? I want to use a ten spool thread stand with this and I need to take the cover off.

I believe the ten spool stand sits behind the machine. But for an answer, call Brother Customer Service for an answer to that. I don't think the cover comes off, just opens.

Yes. Your machine should have an accessory pack that includes a plastic attachment that keeps the spool of thread on. If you don't have one, you can take a piece of styrofoam and push it through the thread post to hold the spool on.

I did that too. I turned it up side down and where I saw slots I carefully pulled them out and lifted the cover off and got the blade out. After that I discovered that all I needed to do was turn the blade until it was positioned for the dots to line up and it would come out.

The panels are together by the end pieces being bent to for a loop. I do not see how you could take them apart without either cutting the loop or unbending it (the latter of which I have not had any luck doing on something such as metal hangers). When I need to make mine smaller, I either fold a couple panels around the back side (making a flap) and bungee cord them closed, or I just make a smaller circle and bungee it closed. Seems these days, I use my bungee cord a lot. :D Hope this helps

No don't saw it off! Remove the lencap. Then twist counter clockwise. And finally give it a slight squesse and pull. It doesn't come off easy but it does come off.

Hi Robert... if you're talking about taking it out of the holster then - apply pressure at the bottom of the phone and push up (sort of like old BlackBerry cases). If you're talking about taking off the base cover - I haven't found a trick, but I was able work the edges slowly and take it off. I don't believe the manufacturer meant the bade to be separated often (so please be careful not to chip the edge if you wish to reattach). If you find a better way, please share :)Thanks

Just grab the edge of the dome. It will unscrew. Place one hand on one of the tubes and the other on the outer lip of the cover and turn the cover counter clock wise. The thread is inside the top of the cover. The top ring swivels and is not designed to come off. I hope this helps.

U should be able to twist it off by hand. If difficult try wrapping it with a rag and then twist. off

Hold the twine with the big end down. Somewhere in the top third of the twine there will be an 'end' of the twine. Part of it is tucked up under the wound twine. Gently pull this 'end' until the tucked part is released and you can unwind the twine as much as you like. I usually 'retuck' the end of the twine after I use it. There may be another 'end' on the bottom of the spool. It's the end the spooling machine started winding with and is impossible to use to unspool the twine. I hope this helps.

Spool cover has two green tabs that you squeeze at the same time and the cover slides over the detents. The spool comes right out. You can only put the spool in one way, so the replacement is really quite easy. I've even taken some store bought line and rewrapped an empty spool.

The only way is to remove the spool cover by squzziing the prongs on the spool cap then remove and wind. Refer to Owners Manual. But Yes you can . I bought a 2 pack refill kit from Amazon for $7 it's from B&D original equip . I would highly recommend doing that instead of buying cheap line and doing it yourself . You might save a buck but it even comes pre loaded and that's hard to beat . Hope that gives you something to think about .

I usually slide mine off to the side to remove them. Try putting strips of fabric under each clamp. They'll help with removing clamps, and they'll improve the clamp's grip on the fabric when you pull it taut. Tutorial: http://curiosities808.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/embroidery-tools-qsnaps-tutorial/

I have not removed mine but once you unscrew it it should come apart easily. I have iron a 200' Glamour hose that weighs a ton. I would spray a little WD40 on the screws and let it sit over night then use a good screwdriver the longer the better for more leverage. And once these screws come out yo just give the hose a good tug and it should come out. This products crimps the hose so you may want to make sure it is out of the sun before trying to pull it out of the crimp. The hotter the hose the more it will expand and may be harder to release. Worse case is you have to cut it off and we are only talking an inch of material that you would loose. I have not removed mine but once you unscrew it it should come apart easily.

I am having the same problem. I can't figure out how to open the plastic covers to shorten the knot. Anyone else out there know how??

To get the round cover off, you need to remove the lever and shaft assembly on one side of the latch. You will need a 2.5mm or 3/32 hex key to remove one of the levers/shaft piece. (these are supplied when you buy the set new) There is an hex screw on one lever/shaft assembly look for it on the right side of the shaft. Undo the screw and slide the lever and shaft assembly off. Carefully grip the round cover and turn it counter clockwise while pulling it toward you-it is a friction fit and should come off easily. A pair of rubber nitrile gloves can help you "get a grip" -do not use any metal tool like pliers or a screwdriver as the cover is light duty and easily damaged Once you remove the cover, you will see the 2 phillips screws that hold the latch together. There is no need to remove the other cover on the other side as the lever/shaft assembly on that side is fixed permanently anyways

When you stop sewing a coverstitch, DON'T SEW OFF THE FABRIC, just stop, raise the presser foot and use an awl to pull the needle threads forward about six inches. Still holding the thread forward, move the fabric backward from under the presser foot and clip the threads. This can be difficult because the pressure foot lever goes the opposite direction of conventional levers, but move it higher to release the fabric.
