Bobbin Case and Bobbin Thread Tension Adjustments
Inserting the Bobbin
NOTE: Turn off the power switch while
inserting the bobbin case or anytime your
hands are near the needle area.
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 5-6 inches of thread
hanging loose.

3. To insert the bobbin case into the machine, grasp
the bobbin case with thumb and first finger. Do
not lift the lever on bobbin case. Fit the bobbin
case onto the hook spindle in the machine.
Rotate the case until the open throat keys into
the alignment notch in the middle of the hook.
Push the case in until it stops in place. Push
the case inward further until it clicks. Allow the
thread end to hang freely.
NOTE:
Pulling out the latch lever pushes the
bobbin forward in the bobbin case, aiding in
removal of the bobbin. The lever should be
used only for removing the bobbin case from
the machine.
