How do I set the bobbin ?

 

Install the bobbin wound with thread.
You can begin sewing immediately without pulling up the bobbin thread by simply inserting the bobbin in the bobbin case and guiding the thread through the slit in the needle plate cover.

  • Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be sure to press image on the operation panel to lock all keys and buttons, otherwise injuries may occur if the “Start/Stop” button or any  other button is pressed and the machine starts.
  • Use a bobbin that has been correctly wound with thread, otherwise the needle may break or the thread tension will be incorrect.
