upward as far as it will go into the needle clamp
hole, tightening the needle clamp screw securely
with a screw driver.
After changing the needle make one
complete revolution of the balance wheel by
hand to be sure the needle is in the correct
position.
WINDING THE BOBBIN
Disengage the hand wheel (5, (Fig. 4) from the stitching
mechanism by turning the clutch 6 toward you or counterclock
wise.
Place a spool of thread on one of the spool pins, lead thread
through the upper thread guide on the arm, and down through
the tension disc (10, (Fig. 5) at the base of the machine. Run
end of thread through a hole in the bobbin edge and place
bobbin B on spindle of bobbin winder 7, fitting the notch on
bobbin over small pin on spindle. Push bobbin winder pulley
against hand wheel. Hold thread end loosely and start machine
slowly.
Bobbin will stop winding when it is filled. Turn clutch away
from you until sewing mechanism is again engaged so that
needle moves when you turn the hand wheel.
Break off loose thread end used to start the winding.
THREADING THE BOBBIN CASE
Step 1 (illustrated in Fig. 6). Hold
bobbin case between thumb and fore
finger of left hand, so that the slot in
the edge of the bobbin case is on top.
Take the bobbin between thumb and
forefinger of right hand so that the
thread on top leads from left to right.
Step 2. Insert bobbin into bobbin case,
pull the thread into the slot of the bob
bin case as shown in Fig. 7, and draw
it under the tension spring and into the
fork-shaped opening of the spring as
shown in Fig. 8.
