FAQs & Troubleshooting

How do I set the bobbin ?

  • Use a bobbin that has been correctly wound with thread, otherwise the needle may break or the thread tension will be incorrect.

  • Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be sure to press image 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 embroidering.

 

 

  1. Press image 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.




     
  2. Slide the bobbin cover latch to the right and remove the bobbin cover.

    Be sure to hold down the bobbin with your finger and unwind the bobbin thread correctly, otherwise the thread may break or the thread tension will be incorrect.




     
  5. While lightly holding down the bobbin with your right hand (A), guide the thread through the slit in the needle plate cover (B) and lightly pull it with your left hand (C).

    By guiding the thread around the tab of the needle plate cover, passing the thread as shown by B in this illustration, then lightly pulling the thread at C, the thread will enter the tension spring of the bobbin case to apply the appropriate tension to the bobbin thread during embroidering.




     
  6. While lightly holding down the bobbin with your right hand (A), continue guiding the thread through the slit with your left hand (B). Then, cut the thread with the cutter (C).

    Be sure to complete the bobbin threading correctly according to these instructions. If the thread is simply placed in the slit in the needle plate cover, the bobbin thread will not be correctly threaded, resulting in poor embroidering performance or incorrect thread tension.




     
  7. Reattach the bobbin cover.
    Insert the tab of the bobbin cover into the notch of the needle plate cover (A), and then lightly press down on the right side (C).
