Tab
CAUTION
• Be sure to hold down the bobbin with your
finger and unwind the bobbin thread
correctly, otherwise the thread may break or
the thread tension will be incorrect.
Memo
• By guiding the thread around the tab of the needle
plate cover, passing the thread as shown by
2
in
this illustration, then lightly pulling the thread at
3
,
the thread will enter the tension spring of the
bobbin case to apply the appropriate tension to the
bobbin thread during sewing.
Memo
• Be sure to complete the bobbin threading correctly
according to these instructions. If the thread is
simply placed in the slit in the needle plate cover,
the bobbin thread will not be correctly threaded,
resulting in poor sewing performance or incorrect
thread tension.
Memo
• You can begin sewing without pulling up the
bobbin thread. If you wish to pull up the bobbin
thread before starting to sew, pull up the thread
according to the procedure in “Pulling up the
bobbin thread” on page 29.
