3) Adjusting the bobbin winding condition

– The thread should be wound around the

bobbin in parallel. Otherwise, loosen the

tightening screw for the thread winder's

tension adjusting holder and move the thread

guide body left or right for adjustment.

– Adjust the tension of the bobbin winding

using the tension adjusting nut.

Winding the bobbin off-center or uneven as shown below can cause thread breaks, skipped
stitches, or thread tangles.

CAUTION

Too tight tension of the bobbin winding can block smooth pulling of the thread and cause
thread breaks or short tails. 

CAUTION
