Winding Through the Needle
When using the same thread in the needle and bobbin, it
is convenient to wind a new bobbin directly through the
needle without having to unthread/re-thread your
machine.
We do not recommend winding speciality threads
such as invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic
or flat metallic threads through the needle. Very
heavy and coarse threads should not be wound
through the needle either as the thread tension can
become too high, causing the needle to break. Wind
specialty threads as described under Bobbin
Winding, page 42.
1.
Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in
the up position.
2.
Thread the machine as described under Threading
the Upper Thread, page 35.
3.
Pull the thread from the needle, under the presser
foot and up to the right.
Note: Always use a metal presser foot when bobbin
winding from the needle.
4.
Use both hands to bring the thread through bobbin
winding thread guide (A), up through the
threading slot and from left to right through thread
guide (B).
5.
Thread through the slot in the bobbin (D) from the
inside to the outside.
Place the bobbin on the bobbin spindle. The bobbin
only fits on one way, with the logo facing out.
The bobbins included are designed especially
for your
creative icon™
machine. Do not use
bobbins from other machine models.
6.
Push the bobbin winding lever (E) towards the
bobbin. A pop-up appears on screen. To adjust
winding speed drag the slider. Hold the thread end
firmly when starting to wind. Touch the play
button in the popup window and let the thread
wind a few turns. Touch the pause icon and cut the
loose thread end close to the bobbin. Press play
again.
Note: Always use a metal presser foot.
7.
When the bobbin is full, the bobbin winding lever
will move back and the winding will stop
automatically. The pop-up message closes. Remove
the bobbin and cut the thread using the bobbin
winding thread cutter (F). Cut the free thread end
close to the bobbin.
