Insert the thread tail from the spool of thread
through the hole in the bobbin from the inside
to the outside. Hold the thread tail while
winding the thread around the bobbin by
hand. After winding the bobbin so it is filled
as shown below (about 80%), cut the thread.
For precautions on winding the bobbin for
embroidering, refer to step

of “Selecting the
Pattern” on page 13.

Install the bobbin wound with thread.
Whether or not tension should be applied to the
bobbin thread depends on the type of thread
being used.
Note
• The bobbin case (gray) cannot be used for sewing in
any way other than bobbin work. After sewing
bobbin work, refer back to the steps in “Preparing
the Bobbin Thread” on page 6 for removing and
cleaning the bobbin case (gray), and then reinstall
the standard bobbin case (black).
CAUTION
• Be sure to use the bobbin case (gray) when creating
bobbin work. Using any other bobbin case may
result in the thread becoming tangled or damage to
the machine.
• Make sure that the bobbin case is correctly
installed. If the bobbin case is incorrectly installed,
the thread may become tangled or the machine may
be damaged.
CAUTION
• When creating bobbin work, use the bobbin cover
with tabs (for bobbin work), otherwise the thread
may become tangled or the needle may break.
CAUTION
• Be sure to use the machine’s included bobbin or one
designed specifically for this machine (Class 15).
Using any other bobbin may result in damage or
injuries.

Note
• Slowly and evenly wind the thread around the
bobbin.
• For best results, wind the bobbin so the thread is
snug and not twisted.
CAUTION
• If thread extends beyond the top of the bobbin too
much, the thread may become tangled or the
needle may break.
Memo
If inserting thread tail through bobbin hole is difficult
bobbin can be wound by holding tail and wrapping
thread around inside base. Then carefully trim thread
tail so it does not extend from the side of the bobbin.
