Memo

●

You can begin sewing immediately without 
drawing up the bobbin thread. If you want 
to draw up the bobbin thread before you 
start to sew, follow the procedure in 
“Drawing up the lower thread” (page 20).

●

Make sure you set the bobbin so the thread 
unrolls in the right direction. If the thread unrolls 
in the wrong direction, it may cause the thread 
tension to be incorrect or break the needle.
