U
CAUTION
: To prevent personal injury always turn off the front power switch while inserting and/or
removing bobbin case or anytime your hands are near the needle area, such as when you change
the needle.
1. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the
thread pulls off clockwise when viewing the
open side.
2. Slide the thread through the slot and under the
tension spring, leaving approximately five to six
inches of thread hanging loose.
To test bobbin tension
The bobbin tension is the foundation tension for the entire machine. Always set the bobbin tension first.
NOTE
: Check the bobbin tension each time a new bobbin is inserted.

1. With the bobbin properly in the bobbin case, hold the bobbin case in the palm of your hand with the
open end facing up.
2. Wrap the thread two to three around the index finger of the opposite hand and lift the bobbin up. The
bobbin case should lift up on its side, and slightly lift out of your hand. If the bobbin will not lift up on
its side, the bobbin tension is too loose and if it lifts out of your hand, the bobbin tension is too tight.
