Threading the Mini Sewing Machine (continued)

2.

See the 7 positions for threading the Mini Sewing Machine, indicated in 

Figure 3

  below.

Step “F”: Thread needle from front to back in the “eye” of the needle. Then pull thread forward.

Winding the Bobbin
Note: A pre-wound Bobbin is already in place in the Bobbin chamber under the
Presser Foot. This is for demonstration only. You will need to replace it with a full
Bobbin for your sewing project.

1.

With the spool of thread on the white plastic Spindle on top of the machine, unwind
the thread approximately 8 inches.

2.

Place the Purple Bobbin Pin into the hole in the center of the Hand Wheel and turn it to
lock it in position. 

See Figures 3 thru 6.

Thread

3.

Insert the loose thread from the top Spool of thread into one of the small holes in the
Bobbin. Insert the thread from the 

inner side 

to the 

outer side

 of the Bobbin and wind

the thread by hand in a counterclockwise fashion for approximately 4 turns.

4.

Place the Bobbin onto the Purple Bobbin Pin. 

See Figure 6.

5.

Hold the thread going from the spool of Thread to the Bobbin lightly as shown in 

Figure 6.

This will prevent tangling. Be sure the machine is in the “On” position. Turn the Hand
Wheel towards you to begin the spin and press the Foot Petal gently. The Bobbin will
begin to fill with thread from the spool of thread.

Note: The Needle will be moving up

and down during this step. Keep fingers and objects away from the needle. 

When

the Bobbin is completely filled with thread, cut the thread and remove the Bobbin and the
Bobbin Pin from the Hand Wheel.
