5-8) LOWER (BOBBIN) THREADING AND
TENSION ADJUSTMENT
1) Lower Threading
①
Use cotton yarn (#80-#120) for your lower thread.
②
Threading the bobbin:
�
Insert the threaded bobbin into the bobbin case with
the thread coming out from the case slot. Pull the
thread through the thread guide. Check if the bobbin
is rotating ([Fig.5-16]).
�
Thread the lower thread holder and trim the thread
to 3-4cm before inserting the bobbin and the case
into the hook assembly.
Long tail can cause the
thread to tangle during stitching.
2) Lower Thread Tension Adjustment
Adjust the tension of the lower thread using the nut on the tension spring on the bobbin case. Turn the nut
clockwise to increase the tension and counterclockwise to decrease the tension.
[CAUTION]
Direction of the Bobbin Rotation
Make sure that the bobbin rotates clockwise
when you pull the thread holding the bobbin
case in your left hand (as shown in [Fig. 5-16]).
[CAUTION]
For adequate bobbin thread tension, hold a
thread from the bobbin and jiggle the bobbin
case lightly up and down. The case should
drop and the tension should be 25-35g.
