Creating Bobbin Work
Positioning the Fabric and Sewing
a
Place a lightweight tear-away stabilizer on
top (wrong side) of the fabric.
b
Using an awl, punch a hole in the fabric at the
beginning of stitching so the bobbin thread
can be fed through the fabric.
c
Use the presser foot lever to raise the presser
foot.
d
With the wrong side facing up, place the
fabric with stabilizer under the presser foot.
a Wrong side of fabric
b Stabilizer on wrong side of fabric
e
Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) to feed the needle into the
punched hole. Position the upper thread over
the presser foot and lightly hold then, lower
the presser foot.
a Punched hole
b Upper thread over the presser foot
f
Pulling the upper thread gently, turn the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise)
until the mark on the handwheel aligns with
the center top of machine.
 A loop of the bobbin thread comes up through the
hole in the fabric.
g
Raise the presser foot lever, and then use
tweezers to pull up the bobbin thread and
bring the end of the thread to the top of the
fabric.
Note
• Be sure to sew trial stitches using same fabric and
threads as your project in order to check the sewing
results.
• The bobbin thread may become tangled due to the
type of pattern and thread that are being used. Since
this may cause the needle to break, immediately
stop sewing if this occurs. Turn off the machine and
cut out the tangled thread with scissors. Then, clean
the race and bobbin case as described in see
“Preparing the Bobbin Thread” on page 4.
Note
• Pull the thread while holding down the fabric so it
does not move out of place.
