Inserting the bobbin
1. If you haven’t done so yet, remove the bobbin case from the machine’s bobbin housing unit. To do
so, simply lift the latch and pull the bobbin case toward you.
2. Pull out the empty or nearly empty bobbin and discard or rewind.
3. Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case, making sure the thread is running clockwise. See Figure
28.
4. Pass the thread through the bobbin case slit. See Figure 29.

5. Pull the bobbin thread under the tension arm, making sure the thread exits at the notch on the
other end. See Figure 30.
6. To ensure the bobbin is placed correctly, turn the bobbin case to the other side, and pull on the
thread. The bobbin thread should still be running clockwise in this direction, and you should see
the letters rotating clockwise. See Figure 31.
