3. Insert the bobbin so the thread comes out in the direction shown
by the arrow.
*
Use bobbins intended for use with this machine.
CAUTION
Be sure the bobbin is set so the thread unrolls in the correct
direction. If the thread unrolls in the wrong direction, it may
cause the thread tension to be incorrect or the needle to
break.
Hold the thread end, push the bobbin down with your finger, and
pass the thread securely through the thread cutting groove.
4. Replace the bobbin cover. Place the left tab in place (see arrow
1 at left), then press lightly on the right side (see arrow 2 at left)
until the cover clicks into place.
*
Insert the cover so that the end of the thread comes out from the
back of the cover (as shown by the slanted line in the illustration
at the left).
