Installing the bobbin

1. Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case.

    

   

   Check that the thread winds off the bobbin clockwise as shown in the illustration.
   If the bobbin is installed with the thread winding off in the opposite direction, the machine will not embroider correctly.

    

2. Pass the thread through the thread slit and under the tension-adjusting spring.
