How do I install the bobbin wound with thread?
Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be sure to turn off the machine, otherwise injuries may occur if the foot controller 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.
