You can begin sewing immediately without drawing up the bobbin thread.
When sewing gathers or darts, you can draw up the lower thread by hand so that some thread will be left over.
Before you draw up the lower thread, put the bobbin back in.

1. Pass the thread along the slit in the direction of the arrow, and leave it there without cutting it.

        

   The bobbin cover should still be removed.

    

2. Raise the presser foot using the presser foot lever.

3. Lightly hold the end of the upper thread.

4. While holding the end of the upper thread, raise the needle either by turning the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) so that the mark on the wheel points up or by pressing    (needle position button) (for models equipped with the needle position button) once or twice.
