Cleaning the Bobbin Case
Thread wax and dust easily collect around the
notch in the tension spring on the bobbin case,
resulting in an incorrect thread tension. Therefore,
the bobbin case should be cleaned as necessary
should tension problems arise.
When cleaning the bobbin case, use card stock or
another type of paper of similar thickness and
sturdiness in order to prevent pieces of paper
tearing off and getting lodged in the bobbin case.

Follow steps “Cleaning the Race” on page

Using a piece of paper of adequate
thickness and sturdiness, slide the paper
between the tension plate base and the
tension spring and also slide the paper
behind the notch of the spring to remove
any dirt or dust.
