3. WINDING THE BOBBIN
1. To wind the bobbin, the balance wheel must be disconnected from the stitching mechanism. Hold the
balance wheel with your left hand and turn the stop motion knob (Fig, 1) towards you with your right
hand. This will permit the balance wheel to turn freely while the needle bar remains motionless. The
balance wheel is now disconnected for the bobbin winding operation.
2. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin. Draw thread from the spool through tension bracket from back to
front (Fig. 2).
3. Now wind the end of the thread around empty bobbin seven or eight times and place the threaded bobbin
on the spindle of the bobbin winder.
4. And push the bobbin winder from left to right.
5. Now manipulate your foot control in the same manner as in sewing and when the bobbin is completely
full it will release automatically and stop turning. Detach bobbin from spindle. Hold balance wheel firmly
with left hand and with the right hand turn stop motion knob, away from you until if cannot be moved
any further and the needle bar moves with the turning of the balance wheel.

4. THREADING THE BOBBIN CASE
Before threading the bobbin case, study Fig. 3, 4 and 5 to get a general idea
as to how it is done.
1. Hold the bobbin case with your left hand and put the bobbin into the
bobbin case with your right hand, leaving about two inches of the thread
end unwound (Fig. 3). As the bobbin is being inserted in the bobbin case,
the thread flow, you will note, is clockwise.
2. While holding the bobbin case as before, grasp the thread and with your
right hand and guide it into the cross slot (Fig. 4).
3. Then pull it through under the tension spring of the bobbin case until it
enters the delivery eye (Fig. 5).
5. INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BOBBIN CASE
1. Raise the presser bar by lifting the presser bar lifter.
2. Raise the needle bar to its highest position by turning the balance wheel towards you.
3. Pull out slide plate IFig. 6).
4. After threading the bobbin case, hold its latch (Fig. 7) between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, with its
position finger opposite the notch at the top of the shuttle race and replace it on the centre stud of the shuttle
(Fig 7).
5. Then release the latch and press the bobbin case back until the latch catches the groove near the end of the stud.
6. Allow the end of the thread to hang free.
7. Push back slide plate. To remove the bobbin case do all the above in reverse order.

(4) and on up into the eye of the take-up lever (5) from right
to left.
Return thread through middle thread guide ¡6) down through
lower guide (7j and into needle bar thread guide (8).
Thread needle from left to right, pulling about four inches
of thread through needle.
7. SETTING THE NEEDLE
1. Turn the balance wheel towards you, raising needle bar
to its highest position, and loosen the needle clamp screw.
2. Hold the needle in the left hand with the point down
and insert the needle up into the needle clamp as far
as it will go with its flat surface to the right then retight
