Winding the Bobbin

Threading the Needle

Pull up on the thread spool pin to lengthen the height. Place the thread spool on the pin and pass the thread around the bobbin winder pre-tension disc.

Not winding the bobbin properly may cause the thread tension to loosen, and may break the needle.

While holding the end of the thread, press the foot controller to begin winding the thread. Cut the thread from the top and proceed winding.

When the bobbin starts to spin slowly and becomes full, release the foot controller. Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winding shaft to the left and remove the bobbin.

Pass the thread through the hole on the bobbin from inside. Use upper hole, not both. Place on bobbin shaft and slide to the right.

CAUTION

1 Wound evenly 2 Wound poorly

Raise the presser foot lifter.

Raise the thread take-up lever to its highest position by turning the handwheel.

Place the thread spool on the spool pin. (Don’t forget to pull up the pin)

Pass the thread through the thread guide and down the right channel on the front of the machine.

Inserting the Bobbin

Raise the needle to its highest position and remove the bobbin case by pulling the latch.

Hold the bobbin case as shown. Insert the bobbin with the thread coming from the bottom toward the top and the thread tail hanging out of the bobbin case.

Cleaning the Bobbin Case

Pull the trailing thread through the slot, down and to the left, until it enters the delivery eye under the tension spring. CAUTION: sure you set the bobbin so the thread unrolls in the right direction. If the thread unrolls in the wrong direction, it may cause the thread tension to be incorrect or break the needle.

Make

Holding the bobbin case by the latch, align your ﬁ nger with the top opening of the shuttle race, insert the case into the shuttle race and release the latch.

Remove the power plug from the outlet.

Pass the thread into the thread tension discs or behind the thread tension dial from the right to the left.

Grasp the thread on both sides of the tension disc and pull to ensure it is in place.

Guide the thread up the left channel, clear to the back of the opening around the take-up lever and back down the left side of the channel to thread the take-up lever.

Thread the needle from front to back and pull out about 5 cm (2 inches) of thread.
