Install the embroidery unit.

Insert the thread tail from the spool of
thread through the hole in the bobbin from
the inside to the outside. Hold the thread
tail while winding the thread around the
bobbin by hand. After winding the bobbin
so it is filled as shown below (about 80%),
cut the thread.
k
Install a bobbin wound with an adequate
amount of thread for pattern.
Note
• The bobbin case (gray) cannot be used in
any way other than bobbin work. After
creating bobbin work, refer back to the
steps in “Preparing the Bobbin Thread” on
page E-88 for removing and cleaning the
bobbin case (gray), and then reinstall the
standard bobbin case.
CAUTION
• Be sure to use the bobbin case (gray) when
creating bobbin work. Using any other bobbin
case may result in the thread becoming
tangled or damage to the machine.
• Make sure that the bobbin case is correctly
installed. If the bobbin case is incorrectly
installed, the thread may become tangled or
the machine may be damaged.

Note
• For an estimated length of bobbin thread
required for each pattern, refer to the
“Quick Reference Guide” included with the
machine. Be sure to use a bobbin wound
with enough thread. If the bobbin runs out
of thread while sewing, the embroidery
cannot be completed.
• Depending on the thread thickness, it may
not be possible to wind the bobbin with the
necessary length of thread. In this case, try
winding the bobbin again, or use a lighter
weight thread.
