You can wind your own bobbins with thread from spools you purchase separately. Make sure to
remove any bobbin already in the bobbin compartment
(N)
before you wind a new bobbin.
Place the thread spool
(E)
on the thread spindle
(C)
.
Take an empty bobbin. Take the loose end of the cotton thread and push it through one of the holes
of the bobbin (from the inside to the outside) leave about 2cm hanging outside. Wind the remaining
thread around the bobbin starting over not under. Do this 7-8 times to secure the line to the bobbin.
Press in and twist towards you the bobbin winder spindle
(T)
, located in the centre of the hand wheel
(K)
to unlock and pop the spindle out.
Place the bobbin on to the bobbin winder spindle
(T)
.
Ensure that the thread is winding onto the
bobbin starting under not over.
Press down the foot pedal or use the auto sew mode. The machine will then start to wind thread onto
the bobbin.
Hold the thread line out lightly between finger and thumb to help guide it onto the bobbin.
When the bobbin is full. Lift your foot off the pedal or switch off the auto sew mode.

To ensure a smooth and flat seam on both sides of the fabric, a correct thread tension is needed.
To loosen the thread tension, turn the tension screw
(Q)
to the left. Loosening the thread tension can
be very useful while threading the machine as it is easier to pull thread through. Sewing on heavier
fabric may also benefit from a looser tension.
To tighten the tension turn the tension screw
(Q)
to the right. Sewing on very light fabric may require
tighter tension.
Note: If you experience the machine jamming, this is likely to be because the tension is set incorrectly.
Please follow the above steps to adjust this.
