INSERTING THE BOBBIN
To insert the bobbin, first remove the bobbin cover plate.
Place the bobbin into the bobbin case.
Pull the thread tail to check that the bobbin turns in a counter-clockwise direction. If it turns
in a clockwise direction, remove it from the bobbin case, turn it over and replace it into the
bobbin case. Pull the thread tail again to ensure that it moves in a counter-clockwise direction.
THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
Threading the upper thread is a simple process, but it must be done correctly in order to
achieve the correct sewing results.
Turn the Power On/Off & Speed Control Switch to the “off” position before threading the machine.
Start by raising the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you
(counter-clockwise), and continue turning until the needle just starts to descend.
Raise the presser foot lifter, which will release the tension of the machine.
Note: This step is very important. If the presser foot is not raised so that the tension is released,
the result will be a large thread jam on the underside of the fabric when you start to sew.
Turn the handwheel toward you until the needle and take-up lever are in their highest positions.
Place the spool base, thread and spool cap onto the spool pin.
If the thread spool is smaller in size, the spool pin can remain in a horizontal position.
Note: If the thread spool has a slit on the end of it, put that end toward the right so that the
thread doesn't get caught on it while sewing.
THRE ADING THE UPPE R THRE AD
If the thread spool is larger in size, and therefore does not feed properly when it is placed
onto the spool pin horizontally, move the spool pin to the vertical position. If the vertical
position is used, loosen the spool cap slightly or completely remove it, so that it doesn't
prevent the spool from turning while sewing.
