REPLACING THE BOBBIN
Caution
: When replacing or inserting the bobbin,
make sure that the On/Off button is in the “Off”
position.
1. Press the bobbin cover release button and
remove the bobbin cover.
2. Insert the new bobbin into the compartment
leaving a 3-inch tail.
3. Hold the end of the upper thread with your
right hand and turn the hand wheel slowly
counter clockwise until the needle goes down
and up again to its highest position. Pull the
upper thread slowly and the lower thread will
come up in a loop. Pull up both threads to
the back and place them together under the
presser foot.
4. Replace the bobbin cover.

TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Caution
: Never adjust the thread tension while sewing.
A correctly adjusted seam has the upper and the lower threads even and the junction
in the middle of the fabric. (See illustration below.)
1. If the upper thread (visible on the top of
the fabric) becomes a straight line, turn
the thread tension dial, counter clockwise
to obtain a balanced stitch. (See
illustration below.)
2. If the lower thread (visible on the
underside of the fabric) becomes a
straight line, turn the thread tension dial,
clockwise to obtain a balanced stitch. (See
illustration below.)
