1.  Remove the bobbin compartment cover. Diagram

Note: If you are changing the bobbin thread due to change in color  

or the thread has run out, it is not necessary to take the bobbin  
case out of the machine. Just remove the bobbin and replace it with a new bobbin. Then 
continue to step 4 and skip steps 7 to 10.

2.  Push the spring loaded latch as shown Diagram
3.  Remove the bobbin followed by the bobbin case from the bobbin compartment.
4.  Place an evenly wound, full bobbin into the bobbin case. Diagram
 

(IMPT: The bobbin should be wound counter clockwise.)

5.  Lift up the bobbin case lever, gently pull about 8 cm (3 inches) of thread from the  
 

bobbin and slide it across the bobbin case slot as shown in Diagram          . 

    

6.  Lower the bobbin case lever.
7.  Pull the thread using your fingers to feel whether the tension on the bobbin thread
 

is pressed too tight or too loose. Adjust the tension accordingly.

8.  Use the cross screwdriver to adjust the screw (tension) on the bobbin case as        
 

shown in Diagram

 

(Hint: If the material is thick, the screw on the bobbin case should be loosen. If the  

 

material is thin, the screw on the bobbin case should be tighten.)

9.  Place the bobbin case into the bobbin compartment. Diagram
10. Insert the spring loaded latch back to hold the bobbin in the correct position.
11.  Fasten the bobbin compartment cover, leaving the end of the thread outside,
 

towards the front of the cover as shown Diagram

Caution: Never operate the sewing machine with the bobbin compartment open.
