The bobbin was designed specifically for
this sewing machine. If bobbins from older
models are used, the machine will not
operate correctly. Use only the enclosed
bobbin or bobbins of the same type
(part code: SA156, SFB (XA5539-151)).
●
Make sure you turn the power off while
threading the machine. If you
accidentally step on the foot controller
and the machine starts to work, you
could be injured.
