How do I draw up the lower thread by hand? (For models equipped with the quick-set bobbin)

When you sew gathers or finish up the threads at the beginning of sewing, draw up the bobbin thread.

 

 

  1. Refer to "How do I thread my machine?" to thread the machine with the upper thread and thread the needle.

  2. If the power of the machine is on, turn it off.
