Note
• The sound of winding the bobbin with stiff thread,
such as nylon thread for quilting, may be different
from the one produced when winding normal
thread; however, this is not a sign of a malfunction.
• When winding transparent nylon thread on the
bobbin, stop bobbin winding when the bobbin is
1/2 to 2/3 full. If the bobbin was fully wound with
transparent nylon thread, it may not be wound
neatly, or sewing performance may suffer. In
addition, extreme pressure may be applied to the
bobbin, it may not be possible to remove the
bobbin from the bobbin winder shaft, or the bobbin
may break.
Memo
• Press to minimize the bobbin winding
window. Then, you can perform other operations,
such as selecting a stitch or adjusting the thread
tension, while the bobbin is being wound.
• Press (in top right of the LCD screen) to
