FAQs & Troubleshooting |
A bobbin case with a green marking has been installed in this machine, with an alternate bobbin case (with pink marking or no marking) provided as an accessory.
When using the embroidery bobbin thread provided, please be sure to choose the green marked bobbin case when performing utility stitch sewing and embroidery functions.
When in the embroidery function mode, the alternate bobbin case (with pink marking or no marking) should be selected when substitute embroidery bobbin threads (other than what is accompanied with your machine) are being used.
The alternate bobbin case (with pink marking or no marking) can be easily adjusted when bobbin tension changes are required to accommodate different bobbin threads.

If the thread tension is still incorrect, repeat Procedure 5 until you can obtain a correct thread tension.
