Pass the end of the thread through the
presser foot, and then pull out about 5 cm
(2 inches) of thread toward the rear of the
machine.

thread

thread, slowly turn the handwheel toward
you (counterclockwise) by hand to lower
and then raise the needle.

Pull on the upper thread to draw up the
lower thread.
1 Upper thread

■ For models equipped with a quick-set
bobbin
You can begin sewing immediately without drawing
up the bobbin thread.
When sewing gathers or darts, you can draw up the
lower thread by hand so that some thread will be
left over. Before you draw up the lower thread, put
the bobbin back in.
1
Remove the bobbin cover, and then
reinstall the bobbin.
2
Pass the thread along the slit in the
direction of the arrow, and leave it there
without cutting it.
• The bobbin cover should still be removed.
3
Draw up the lower thread as described in
the previous steps
