How do I set the bobbin ?

Use a bobbin thread that has been correctly wound. Otherwise, the needle may break or the thread tension will be incorrect.
The included bobbin was designed specifically for this machine. If bobbins from other models are used, the machine will not operate correctly. Use only the included bobbin or bobbins of the same type (part code: SA156, (SFB: XA5539-151 / 115J05E0001)). SA156 is Class 15 type bobbin.
Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be sure to press in the LCD to lock all keys and buttons, otherwise injuries may occur if the “Start/Stop” button or any other button is pressed and the machine starts sewing.

Press to lock all keys and buttons and raise the presser foot.
* If the message OK to automatically lower the presser foot? appears on the LCD screen, press to continue.
