Step 2 Prepare the sewing machine for use.

Plug in the foot controller connector at the right hand side of the machine, as shown in figure 1a. Connect the mains plug into a wall socket, and place the controller on the floor.

Grip the top of the spool pin, and pull it upwards as shown in figure 1b until it clicks into place at a height of about 50 mm (2 in). Be careful not to pull the pin off the machine.

Set the tension dial to 5.

Set the pattern dial to straight stitch.

Set the stitch length dial to between 2 and 3.

Step 3 Winding the bobbin. (Your machine may be supplied with a fully wound bobbin, but you may want to fill another bobbin with your own thread.)

tension disk.

 

 

 

Take one of the bobbins from the accessory pack.

 

 

 

Pass the thread through the hole in the bobbin from

 

 

 

the inside.

 

 

 

Clip the bobbin onto the bobbin winding shaft.

 

 

 

Push the bobbin winding shaft firmly to the right until

 

 

 

it clicks into place against the stop (figure 3b).

 

 

 

Hold the end of the thread and press the foot controller

 

 

 

to wind the thread around the bobbin a few times.

Trim the excess thread (figure 3c), and continue winding until the winding shaft stops automatically.

Push the bobbin winding shaft back to the left, cut the thread, and remove the bobbin from the shaft (figure 3d).

Unwind the thread from the tension disk.

Step 4 Lower threading. (Your machine may be supplied with a threaded bobbin, but you may want to use another bobbin with your own thread.)

Set the power switch to off (O).

Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the balance wheel towards you (counter-clockwise). Open the shuttle cover behind the extension table.

Remove the bobbin case from the shuttle, by pulling the latch (marked in red on figure 4a).

Leaving about 10 cm (4 in) of thread trailing, insert the bobbin into the bobbin case (figure 4b).

latch

Hold the bobbin case in your left hand with the bobbin case finger pointing towards you (figure 4c).

With your right hand, pull the trailing thread into the slot in the bobbin case (figure 4c).

Draw the thread down under the spring into the delivery eye (figure 4d).

Hold the bobbin case by the latch, with the finger pointing upwards (figure 4e).

Insert the bobbin back into the shuttle, release the latch, and push the bobbin in until it clicks.

Make sure the bobbin case goes in all the way, or the latch will not hold the bobbin properly.

Leave the shuttle cover open.
