Note

• The sewing results may be affected by the type of 

fabric used. Before sewing your project, be sure to 
sew trial stitches on a piece of scrap fabric that is 
the same as the fabric used in the project.

Note

• The bobbin case (gray) cannot be used for sewing in 

any way other than bobbin work. After sewing 
bobbin work, refer back to the steps in “Preparing 
the Bobbin Thread” for removing and cleaning the 
bobbin case (gray), and then reinstall the standard 
bobbin case (black).
