by marks around the bobbin case. Be sure
to thread the machine as indicated.

Memo
●
You can begin sewing immediately without
drawing up the bobbin thread. If you want
to draw up the bobbin thread before you
start to sew, follow the procedure in
“Drawing up the lower thread” (page 20).
●
Make sure you set the bobbin so the thread
unrolls in the right direction. If the thread unrolls
in the wrong direction, it may cause the thread
tension to be incorrect or break the needle.
