WINDING THE BOBBIN
Your sewing machine works by stiching two threads. The main thread is contained on the spool which is at the top of the machine. A second thread is contained in a compartment under the machine. This thread is wound onto a “bobbin” from the main spool.
Place the main spool as shown in the top illustration.
For large spools of thread place the spool holder with the large side next to the spool (Fig 1). For small spools of thread place the spool holder with the small side next to the spool (Fig 2).
To wind the bobbin:
Wind thread clockwise around bobbin winder tension disc (Fig. 3). Thread the bobbin as illustrated and place on spindle (Fig. 4).
Push the bobbin to the right (Fig. 5). This is the “bobbin winding” position. Hold the thread end (Fig. 6).
Switch the power on:
Step on the foot control pedal (Fig. 7). Gradually apply pressure to increase speed. Allow the bobbin to wind sufficient thread. Remove your foot from the pedal. Now cut the threads (8).
Press the bobbin to left (9) and remove. Moving the bobbin to the left places the machine in the “sewing” position.
Note:
When the bobbin winder spindle is in “bobbin winding” position, the machine will not sew.
To start sewing, push the bobbin winder spindle to the left (sewing position).
