Install the bobbin wound with thread.

Whether or not tension should be applied to the 
bobbin thread depends on the type of thread 
being used.

■

When tension is applied to the bobbin 
thread

Insert bobbin into bobbin case so the thread unwinds 
from the left side.

 CAUTION

• Be sure to use the bobbin case (gray) when creating 

bobbin work. Using any other bobbin case may 
result in the thread becoming tangled or damage to 
the machine.

• Make sure that the bobbin case is correctly 

installed. If the bobbin case is incorrectly installed, 
the thread may become tangled or the machine may 
be damaged.

 CAUTION

• Be sure to use the machine’s included bobbin or one 

designed specifically for this machine. Using any 
other bobbin may result in damage or injuries.

Note

• Slowly and evenly wind the thread around the 

bobbin.

• For best results, wind the bobbin so the thread is 

snug and not twisted.

 CAUTION

• If thread extends beyond the top of the bobbin too 

much, the thread may become tangled or the 
needle may break.

(approx. 

7/16 inch)

 CAUTION

• When winding the bobbin, make sure the thread is 

not frayed. Sewing with frayed thread may result in 
the thread catching on the tension spring of the 
bobbin case, the thread becoming tangled or 
damage to the machine.

• Do not guide the bobbin thread through the groove 

in the needle plate cover, otherwise the lower 
threading cannot be done correctly.
