Picking Up Bobbin Thread

1�  With the needle threaded and the thread passed through the center foot, hold the needle thread loosely to the right (

24

)� 

Grab the top of the balance wheel and rotate toward the front of the machine (

29

) until the needle moves down and then 

back up� 

2�  As the needle nears its highest point, pull the needle thread gently� The bobbin thread should come up through the needle 

hole, with the needle thread, in the form of a loop (

25

)�

3�  Pass a small instrument (pen, seam ripper, screwdriver, etc�) under the presser foot from right to left to pull the thread out 

away from the machine (

26 

and

 27

)�

NOTE: If the bobbin thread does not appear when the needle is lowered and raised, check to make sure 5 to 6 inches of 

bobbin thread is hanging loosely from the bobbin case and repeat steps 1-3 again� 

Using the Ultrafeed

Ultrafeed Sewing Machines arrive tuned and optimized for sewing heavy materials like 

marine canvas and vinyl�  

Starting to Sew

1� 

Plug the machine into a grounded outlet and switch on 

the WorkerB

®

 Power Pack�

2� 

Insert the Posi-Pin

®

 Safety Shear into a hole in the 

balance wheel� Maintain light pressure on the Posi-Pin 

and rotate the balance wheel toward you until the 

Posi-Pin locks into a mating hole in the balance wheel 

bushing (

29

)�

3� 

Push the Posi-Pin all the way in until the shoulder is 

flush against the balance wheel face.

4� 

Use the lift lever (

28

) to raise (

A

) and lower (

B

) the 

presser foot onto the material�

5� 

The thread ends from the needle and the bobbin 

should be behind the foot as you start to sew� Hold 

them down with your finger for the first few stitches for 

proper tension�

6� 

To mark your starting position, you may want to rotate 

the balance wheel by hand (

C

) until the needle is 

buried in the material� 
NOTE: Always rotate the balance wheel 

by grabbing the top of the wheel and 

rotating down toward you (

29

)�

7� 

Press the foot control pedal to begin sewing and 

release the trapped threads after the first few stitches.

A

  Raise   

B

  

Lower

DO NOT

 

operate the machine when threaded without 

material under the presser foot (and foot lowered)� The 

machine will most likely “lock up” and be inoperable until the 

resulting thread jam is cleared�
