k
Using scissors carefully trim the thread tail
as close to the bobbin as possible.

l
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.
■
When tension is applied to the bob-
bin thread
Insert bobbin into bobbin case so the thread
unwinds from the left side. Pass the thread carefully
through groove of needle plate cover as shown
below.

■
When tension is not applied to the
bobbin thread
If the bobbin thread in the trial stitching is too tight
and adjusting the bobbin case tension does not help,
do not pass the thread through the tension spring.
Hold the bobbin with your left hand so the thread
unwinds from the right side and hold the end of the
thread with your right hand.
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.
CAUTION
• When winding the bobbin, make sure the
thread is not frayed. Sewing with frayed
thread may result in the thread catching on
the tension spring of the bobbin case, the
thread completely becoming tangled or
damage to the machine.
• Do not guide the bobbin thread completely
through the groove in the needle plate cover,
otherwise the lower threading cannot be done
correctly. Thread only as far as shown below.
