GETTING READY TO SEW

1. Assemble spool holder by

snapping spool pin into spool
stand. Both of these parts are
found in accessory drawer located
in front of machine

2. Slide spool stand into its holder

on rear left of machine, until it
snaps firmly into place

3. Make sure that power switch is in

the “O” (Off) position. Plug in the
foot pedal and AC adaptor plug

4. Remove the red-handled seam

ripper/thread trimmer and needle
threader from accessory drawer

WINDING THE BOBBIN

1. Push the bobbin winder switch

down to raise bobbin winder

2. Remove see-through bobbin

cover by sliding it toward the front
of machine.
Insure that the bobbin case is in
the proper position. The bobbin
case is held in place by a position
plate, which is designed to flex
slightly to allow the bobbin case to
move back and forth freely, about
1/16”.
The screw head should line up
with the seam in plastic casing of
machine and bobbin case should
move back and forth slightly
(about 1/16”) when hand wheel is
turned. If not, refer to page 17 for
repositioning instructions.

3. Remove empty bobbin from

bobbin case. The seam ripper
may make removal easier. Place
bobbin on the bobbin winder,
aligning the hole in bobbin with
the driving pin on bobbin winder.
You may have to turn the hand
wheel to help locate the driving
pin.

4. Slide spool of thread onto the

spool pin. NOTE: Make certain
that the thread retaining slit on
spool is near the bottom.
Otherwise, thread can become
caught in the slit and cause
problems during sewing.
