How do I wind the bobbin?
-
If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set incorrectly, the thread may tangle on the spool pin.
-
Use the spool cap (large, medium, or small) that is closest in size to the thread spool.
If a spool cap smaller than the thread spool is used, the thread may become caught in the slit on the end of the spool.
-
Place the spool of thread on the horizontal spool pin and firmly hold it with a spool cap so that the spool of thread will not turn.
Pass the thread through the thread guide as shown following the dotted line on the top of the machine.Use only bobbins recommended by the manufacturer of this machine.
Using other bobbins may result in damage or injury.
-
Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft.
Push the bobbin winder shaft to the right.
* Align the groove of the bobbin with the spring on the shaft. -
Wind the thread clockwise around the bobbin four or five times, pass the end of the thread through the slit in the bobbin winder seat, and then pull the thread in the direction shown in the illustration.
Use the cutter to cut the thread.
-
Press down on the foot controller to start.
-
After the machine stops automatically when the bobbin is full, take your foot off of the foot controller.
When removing the bobbin, do not pull on the bobbin winder seat.
Doing so could loosen or remove the bobbin winder seat, resulting in damage to the machine.
-
Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left and remove the bobbin.
The needle bar does not move when the bobbin winding shaft is slid to the right.
Immediately after winding the bobbin, it is normal to hear the sound of the clutch engaging when beginning to sew or manually turning the handwheel.
Be sure to follow the process described.
If the thread is not cut completely, and the bobbin is wound, when the thread runs low it may tangle around the bobbin and cause the needle to break.
