Memo
• If the basting threads fall out of the fabric, pull up
the bobbin thread before sewing, and then pull
the upper thread and bobbin thread under the
presser foot toward the back of the machine (refer
to “Pulling up the bobbin thread” in the “Basic
operations” section). Hold the upper thread and
bobbin thread when beginning to sew, and when
finished sewing, cut the threads leaving an excess
amount of thread.
Finally, hold the upper thread and bobbin thread
at the beginning of the stitching while arranging
the fabric.
