To Wind the Bobbin
It ’S necessary to understand the stop motion
(B, Fig. 17) by which the balance wheel (C, Fig. 17)
can be released when required, thus permitting the
winding of bobbins without running the stitching
mechanism.
To release the balance wheel (C, Fig. 17) turn the
stop motion screw (B, Fig. 17) over toward you.
It is necessary to hold the balance wheel while
loosening the stop motion screw.
Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle
(E, Fig. 17) and push it up closely against the
shoulder having the small pin in the shoulder enter
the hole in the side of the bobbin. Put the spool of
thread on the spool pin (1, Fig. 17) located on the
bed of the machine at the right. Draw the thread
under and between the tension discs (2, Fig. 17)
on the bed of the machine at the right of the spool
pin, then pass the thread through the hole in the left
side of the bobbin (3, Fig. 17) from the inside.
