REMOVING / ATTACHING THE PRESSER FOOT

Turn the Power On/Off & Speed Control Switch to the “off” position and make sure the needle 
is in its highest position.

Removing the Presser Foot

Raise the Presser Bar by lifting the Presser Foot Lifter. Press the Presser Foot Lever, located 
in back of the Presser Foot Holder and the foot will disengage.

WINDING THE BOBBIN

                                                                                                                     The bobbin case is
magnetized. When the metal bobbin is used, correct tension for the bobbin thread can be 
achieved. Therefore, do not use transparent or plastic bobbins – using transparent or plastic
bobbins will result in poor stitch quality due to lack of tension on the bobbin thread.
Always use metal bobbins.  Contact your Authorized SINGER   retailer for more 
information, or visit www.singer.com.

Place the spool base, thread and spool cap onto the spool pin.  Pull the thread out from the 
spool. Slip it into the thread guide, then wind it around the bobbin tension guide, as illustrated. 

Put the end of the thread through the hole in the bobbin, as shown.  Place the bobbin onto 
the bobbin winder as far as it will go.

Holding onto the end of the thread, push the bobbin winder firmly to the right, up against the 
bobbin winding stopper.  Step on the foot controller to begin winding the bobbin, stop to trim
the thread tail. Step on the foot controller again to resume winding the bobbin. When the bobbin 
is full, push the spindle to the left, clip the thread and remove the bobbin from the winder.
