To insert the bobbin into the bobbin case
U
CAUTION
: To prevent personal injury,
always turn off the front power switch
while inserting and/or removing the bobbin case or anytime your hands are near
the needle area, to prevent personal injury.
1. Place the bobbin in the bobbin
case so that the thread pulls off the
bobbin clockwise when viewing the
open side.
2. Slide the thread through the slot
and under the tension spring,
leaving approximately 5" to 6"
thread tail.
To test bobbin tension
The bobbin tension is the foundation for stitch tension. Always set the bobbin tension
first.
NOTE
: Check the bobbin tension each time a new bobbin is inserted.
1. With the bobbin properly in the bobbin case, hold the bobbin case in the palm of
your hand with the open side facing up.
2. Wrap the thread tail two to three times around the index finger of the opposite
hand and attempt to lift the bobbin up by the thread. The bobbin case should
stand up on its side, and slightly lift out of your hand. If the bobbin will not stand
up on its side, the bobbin tension is too loose. If it lifts completely out of your
hand and hangs by the thread, the bobbin tension is too tight.
To adjust the bobbin tension
Adjust the tension using the screw in
the center of the tension spring. (The
larger of the 2 screws) Turn clockwise to
tighten and counterclockwise to loosen
the tension. Make tiny adjustments to the
bobbin tension and test again.
