THREADING THE MACHINE
Winding the Bobbin
CAUTION
• If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set incorrectly,
the thread may tangle on the spool pin.
• Use the spool cap (large, medium, or small) that is
closest in size to the thread spool. If a spool cap smaller
than the thread spool is used, the thread may become
caught in the slit on the end of the spool.
1. Place the spool of thread on the horizontal spool pin and firmly
hold it with a spool cap so that the spool of thread will not turn.
Pass the thread through the thread guide as shown following the
dotted line on the top of the machine.
CAUTION
Use only bobbins recommended by the manufacturer of
this machine (see page 3). Using other bobbins may result
in damage or injury.
2. Pass the end of the thread through the hole on the bobbin from the inside.
Place the bobbin onto the bobbin winder shaft and slide the bobbin
winder shaft to the right. Turn the bobbin clockwise, by hand, until
the spring on the shaft slides into the groove of the bobbin.

2 Groove of the bobbin
3 Bobbin winder seat
4 Bobbin winder shaft
3. While holding the end of the thread, gently depress the foot
controller to wind the thread around the bobbin a few times.
Then stop the machine.
Trim the excess thread above the bobbin.
4. Press down on the foot controller to start.
5. After the machine stops automatically when the bobbin is full,
take your foot off of the foot controller.
CAUTION
When removing the bobbin, do not pull on the bobbin winder
seat. Doing so could loosen or remove the bobbin winder seat,
resulting in damage to the machine.
6. Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left and
remove the bobbin.
NOTE:
The needle bar does not move when the bobbin winding shaft is
slid to the right.
Immediately after winding the bobbin, it is normal to hear the
sound of the clutch engaging when beginning to sew or manually
turning the handwheel.
CAUTION
Be sure to follow the process described. If the thread is not
cut completely, and the bobbin is wound, when the thread
runs low it may tangle around the bobbin and cause the
needle to break.
CAUTION
Setting the bobbin improperly may cause the thread ten-
sion to loosen, breaking the needle and resulting in injury.
