bobbin thread
If the bobbin thread in the trial stitching is too tight 
and adjusting the bobbin case tension does not help, 
do not pass the thread through the tension spring.

unwinds from the right side and hold the end of the 
thread with your right hand.

bobbin thread.

Lightly hold the end of the upper thread 
while turning the handwheel toward you 
(counterclockwise) until the mark on the 
handwheel aligns with the center top of 
machine.
p
Gently pull the upper thread to bring the 
bobbin thread up through the needle plate.
→ A loop of the bobbin thread comes out through the
hole in the needle plate.
q
Insert tweezers through bobbin thread loop 
and pull bobbin thread above the needle 
plate.

Align the upper thread and bobbin thread, 
and then pull out about 10 cm (approx. 
4 inches) of the threads and pass them 
under the embroidery foot toward the rear 
of the machine.
