SINGER 626E6 Touch & Sew - Manual (Page 11)

THE BOBBIN
The Push-Button Bobbin will make your sewing go
faster than ever before — whether you are using a
lot of one kind of thread or small quantities of dif­
ferent threads, as you are likely to do when mending
or darning.
You will find a bobbin already in place in your ma­
chine, located under the slide plate. (To open slide
plate, simply slide it gently toward you.) Notice the
white rings on the bobbin. Each ring represents an
approximate yardage of No. 50 Mercerized cotton
thread. The third, or outer ring, marks the full limit
of the bobbin and you should never wind beyond that
ring. If you are using fine thread, yardage on the
bobbin will be greater. If you use thread heavier than
No. 50, the yardage will, of course, be less.
The bobbin is ready for winding as you find it in the
machine. If the bobbin runs out of thread while you
are sewing, you can rewind it without removing it
from the machine.
Preparation Steps
1. Use General Purpose or Straight Stitch Presser
Foot. The General Purpose Foot is in place when
the machine is delivered to you.
2. Raise presser foot to release tension on thread.
3. Turn hand wheel toward you to raise take-up
lever to highest point.
4. Open slide plate.
5. Make sure bobbin is empty. (For instructions on
removing bobbin and thread, see next page.)
6. Set Pattern Selector at Straight Stitch, Stitch
Width Selector at 1, and Needle Position at C.
Winding Steps
1. Press bobbin push-button toward you.
2. Wrap thread around presser foot screw, and hold
end of thread firmly.
3. Start the machine.
® Run the machine at a moderate speed.
® Pull thread end away after a few coils have been
wound.
® Keep your eye on the bobbin and fill with desired
quantity of thread. Do not allow thread to wind
beyond FULL ring,
4. Close slide plate to release push-button, (For in­
structions on starting to sew with a nev/ly wound
