How do I set the bobbin?
Install the bobbin wound with thread. You can begin embroidering 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.
(1) Tab |
Be sure to hold down the bobbin with your finger and unwind the bobbin thread correctly, otherwise the thread may break or the thread tension will be incorrect.
By guiding the thread around the tab of the needle plate cover, passing the thread as shown by B in this illustration, then lightly pulling the thread at C, the thread will enter the tension spring of the bobbin case to apply the appropriate tension to the bobbin thread during embroidering.
Be sure to complete the bobbin threading correctly according to these instructions. If the thread is simply placed in the slit in the needle plate cover, the bobbin thread will not be correctly threaded, resulting in poor embroidery performance or incorrect thread tension.
