To insert the bobbin case into the machine
1. Position the needle in the up position. Turn off the power to the machine using
the front button.
2. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case with the thread pulling off clockwise when
viewing the open side of the bobbin case.
3. Slide the thread through the slot and under the tension spring, leaving a 5" to 6"
thread tail.
4. Position the bobbin case onto the hook
spindle in the machine, orienting the
bobbin case as shown in the photo.
Align the notch to the right and push
the bobbin case inward until it clicks
into place.
NOTE
: Do not insert the bobbin case into the machine by lifting the lever on
bobbin case. Use the lever only for removing the bobbin case.
Tension
One of the joys of quilting with the Regalia ST is its ability to handle a wide variety
of thread types. Quilt with almost any high-quality thread, making sure to adjust the
bobbin tension first, followed by the top tension for the selected thread.
Puckering, gathers, and thread breakage occur when the top tension is too tight. Loops
and thread nests occur when the top thread tension is too loose. Tension may need to
be adjusted depending on the fabric, thread, or batting being used on the project.
NOTE
: Top tension should be adjusted after the bobbin case tension adjustment
is made.
NOTE
: Dark threads will be thicker (because of dye) than light threads of the
same weight and may require a tension adjustment. The type or brand of thread
may also affect tension settings. Each time you change threads, the tension
settings should be checked.
