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.

For details on sewing after pulling up the bobbin thread, for example, when making gathers or with free motion quilting, refer to How do I pull up the bobbin thread?
