How do I install the bobbin wound with thread? (For models equipped with a quick-set bobbin)
Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be sure to turn off the machine, otherwise injuries may occur if the foot controller or Start/ Stop button is accidentally pressed and the machine starts sewing.
-
Be sure to use the included bobbins (part code: SA156, SFB: XA5539-151) or the same type.
SA156 is Class 15 type bobbin.
(1) 11.5 mm (7/16 inch) - Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. If you do not cut the thread completely and the bobbin is wound, when the thread runs low, it may tangle around the bobbin and cause the needle to break.
-
Not winding the bobbin properly may cause the thread tension to loosen, and may break the needle.
(1) Wound evenly
(2) Wound poorly

While lightly holding down the bobbin with your right hand, continue guiding the thread through the slit with your left hand. Then, cut the thread with the cutter.

You can begin sewing without drawing up the bobbin thread.
If you wish to pull up the bobbin thread before starting to sew, pull up the thread according to the procedure in "How do I draw up the lower thread by hand?".
