Drawing Out the Bobbin Thread
After setting the bobbin thread and threading the embroidery thread, draw the bobbin thread out
of the needle plate hole as follows:
1. Hold the end of the embroidery thread by the left hand. Do not stretch it so tightly that the
needle tip is deflected.
2. Lower the needle once, and lift it again by rotating the flywheel toward you (counterclock-
wise) with your right hand.
3. After the embroidery thread take-up lever has reached the top, pull slightly on the embroidery
thread, and the bobbin thread will come through the needle plate hole.
4. Pull the drawn bobbin thread to the left, and hook it to the thread holder of the auxiliary
table.
5. Pull the embroidery thread loop to the left from below the Presser Foot, thus allowing it to
pass through the bottom hole.
6. Hook the embroidery thread to the thread holder on the left side of the faceplate. Take up any
looseness, and hang it down about 1 1/4 inches (3cm).
7. Use the face plate thread cutter to cut any surplus thread to a suitable length.Setting Thread

Upper Thread Tension
The upper thread tension wheel works best when set between 4 and 5 on the numbered dial. A
higher number on the dial will increase the tension and a lower number will decrease the tension.
Experimentation with different threads and fabrics will give you experience on how to set the
upper thread tension to best suit your needs.
Bobbin Thread Tension
For the best possible results, it is important to use the bobbin reels and bobbin thread that was
furnished with your machine. Most pre-wound bobbins do not work well with the EP 1. Melco
recommends the use of Rasant bobbin thread, which is available from Accessory Resource
Corporation.
1. Put the filled bobbin reel into the bobbin case. Make certain the thread goes through the slit
in the side of the case and under the tension plate.
2. Support the bobbin case with one hand and lift the thread with the other hand.
3. Dangle the case by the thread. The tension should be tight enough that the case is supported
by the thread. If the thread unwinds from the reel too easily, the tension must be increased.
Tighten the setscrew (clockwise) on the outside of the case.
