How do I wind the bobbin?
Be sure to use the included bobbins (part code: SA156, SFB: XA5539-151) or the same type.
SA156 is Class 15 type bobbin.
(1) 11.5 mm (7/16 inch) |
Make sure that the thread unwinds as shown.
If the spool of thread is not in the right place, the thread may tangle on the spool pin.
(1) Thread guide | (2) Pretension disk |
Make sure that the thread passes under the pretension disk.
Checking the orientation of the bobbin will be helpful in later procedures. By placing the bobbin into the bobbin case in the same orientation that it was on the bobbin winder shaft, the bobbin can be installed with the correct winding direction of the bobbin thread.
The "b" mark on one side of the bobbin included with this machine can be used as a reference.
(1) Notch (2) Projection (3) Bobbin winder shaft |
Make sure the notch fits the projection.
While holding the end of the thread, gently press the foot controller to wind the thread around the bobbin a few times.
(1) 7-8 cm |
We recommend winding stretch thread, such as transparent nylon thread, at a low speed since the thread may stretch.
When the bobbin seems full and begins spinning slowly, take your foot off the foot controller to stop the machine.
Cut the thread.
Slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left and remove the bobbin.
(1) Wound evenly (2) Wound poorly |
