Winding through the needle

Even if the machine has been completely 

threaded, you can still wind the bobbin.

Raise presser foot lifter (19). Pass the 

needle thread through the presser foot 

and downwards; then through the right 

threading slot (11) and upwards. 

Now, pull the thread into the take-up 

lever from left to right (9). The take-up 

lever must be positioned at its very top.

Pass the thread to the right under the 

hook C. Then wind the thread several 

times around the bobbin. Press the foot 

control and winding the bobbin.

Don’t forget:

Make sure to stop the needle from 

moving while winding the bobbin (see 

page 1:4).
