For models equipped with the quick-set 
bobbin

You can begin sewing immediately without 
drawing up the bobbin thread. When sewing 
gathers or darts, you can draw up the lower 
thread by hand so that some thread will be left 
over. Before you draw up the lower thread, put 
the bobbin back in. 

a

Pass the thread along the slit in the direction 
of the arrow, and leave it there without 
cutting it.

• The bobbin cover should still be removed.

b

Draw up the lower thread as described in 
steps
