Memo

● The order that the bobbin thread should be

passed through the bobbin case is indicated
by marks around the bobbin case. Be sure
to thread the machine as indicated.

Replace the bobbin cover. Put the left tab in
place (see arrow a), and then press lightly on
the right side (see arrow b) until the cover
clicks into place.

Memo

● You can begin sewing immediately without

drawing up the bobbin thread. If you want
to draw up the bobbin thread before you
start to sew, follow to the procedure in
“Drawing up the lower thread” (page 19).

● Make sure you set the bobbin so the thread

unrolls in the right direction. If the thread unrolls
in the wrong direction, it may cause the thread
tension to be incorrect or break the needle.
