Removing the bobbin case

    (1) Thread Picker

     

    Thread picker is a device that is used to hold the thread when beginning to embroider or when trimming the thread.
     

    The thread picker can only be moved within a certain range. Do not pull it with extreme force.

     

  3. Grab the bobbin case latch, and remove the bobbin case.

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.
