Pulling Up the Bobbin Thread
There may be some applications where you want
to pull up the bobbin thread; for example, when
embroidering bobbin work designs.

Guide the bobbin thread through the
groove, following the arrow in the
illustration.
* Do not cut the thread with the cutter.
* Do not replace the bobbin cover.
Memo
• When the “Automatic Threading” button is
pressed, the presser foot will be
automatically lowered. After threading is
finished, the presser foot moves back to the
position before the “Automatic Threading”
button was pressed.
Note
• Pulling the loop of thread gently will avoid
needle breakage.
Memo
• If the needle could not be threaded or the
thread was not passed through the needle
bar thread guides, perform the procedure
again starting from step
c
.
Then, pass the thread through the eye of
the needle after step
i .
Note
• Some needles cannot be threaded with the
needle threader. In this case, instead of
using the needle threader after passing the
thread through the needle bar thread guide
(marked “6”), manually pass the thread
through the eye of the needle from the front
to the back.
Memo
• You can pull up the bobbin thread after
threading the upper thread (“UPPER
THREADING” on page B-38).
