Inserting the Bobbin Case into the Machine
To insert the bobbin case into the machine, grasp the bobbin case
with thumb and first finger. Do not lift the lever on bobbin case.
Fit the bobbin case onto the hook spindle in the machine. Rotate
the case until the open throat keys into the alignment notch in the
middle of the hook. Push the case in until it stops in place. Push
the case inward further until it clicks. Allow the thread end to
hang freely.
NOTE:
Pulling out the latch lever pushes the bobbin
forward in the bobbin case, aiding in removal of the bobbin.
The lever should be used only for removing the bobbin case
from the machine.
