Helpful Hints when Using the Low Bobbin Indicator:
You only need to recalibrate the fullness level for the indicator if you change to different bobbin thread
types/thicknesses. If you frequently change bobbin thread thickness, it may be helpful to make a note of
where the “bobbin full” dial should be set for your different threads to save time. You can use our Personal
Low Bobbin Indicator Reference Chart to keep track of different threads.
If you are finished quilting for the day and need to turn off your quilting machine before you have used up a
complete bobbin, use this process to refresh the settings for the partial bobbin in your machine when you
turn the power back on:
•
First make note of where the bobbin indicator level is before you shut off the machine.
When you turn the machine off, it will remember where you had set the “full” mark for your
particular bobbin thread, but it will not know how much thread you have already used on that
particular bobbin.
When you turn the machine back on, the bobbin indicator will rise up to wherever “full” was for
your
bobbin type.
•
Next turn the bobbin level knob on the side of the machine to drop the bobbin indicator bar down
to the location you noted for your partial bobbin before you turned off the machine.
Now continue sewing until you get the low bobbin indicator audible or visual alert.
•
Insert a new FULL bobbin.
•
Press “Bobbin Reset.”
Now you will need to rotate the bobbin level dial to raise the indicator to where the original “full” level is for
your bobbin so that your machine knows you are back to using a full bobbin.
Use the helpful chart on the next page to keep track of your “full bobbin” settings for
your most commonly used bobbin thread types.
