Pass the end of the thread through the
hole on the bobbin from the inside of the
bobbin.

Put 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 notch of the bobbin.

• Make sure to pull out 7 to 10 cm (3-4 inches)

of thread from the hole on the bobbin.

1 Spring on the shaft
2 Notch
3 7-10 cm (3-4 inches)

CAUTION

Turn on the machine.

CAUTION

While holding the end of the thread,
gently press the foot controller to wind
the thread around the bobbin a few times.
Then stop the machine.

Trim the excess thread above the bobbin.

1 1 cm (1/2 inch)

CAUTION

Press the foot controller to start.

When the bobbin seems full and begins
spinning slowly, take your foot off the foot
controller.

Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winder
shaft to the left and remove the bobbin.

Note

● When the sewing machine is started or the

handwheel is turned after winding the thread
around the bobbin, the machine will make a
clicking sound; this is not a malfunction.

● The needle bar does not move when you slide

the bobbin winder shaft to the right.

●

Pull the thread taut and hold the end of
the thread straight up. If the thread is too
short, not pulled taut or held at an angle,
injuries may occur when the thread is
wound around the bobbin.

●

Do not turn on the machine while
pressing down the foot controller. The
machine may start unexpectedly and
cause personal injury or damage to the
machine.

●

Make sure you follow the instructions
carefully. If you do not cut the excess
thread completely before winding the
bobbin, when the thread runs low it may
tangle around the bobbin and cause the
needle to break.
