When the bobbin runs out, press the
Stop
Recording
button and note how many yards is
indicated under the Bobbin Thread Capacity,
perhaps 210. Since you want a warning as to when
the bobbin is getting low, use the
–
(minus) button
to specify a lower number, such as 195. This lower
value should also take into account an estimate of
how much thread you’ll use for tieoffs.
Save that setting as one of the Bobbin Thread
Capacity Presets by touching the
Save
button next
to it. You might want to make a note as to which
type of thread the preset represents.
Setting the low-bobbin alarm
Insert a full bobbin with the same thread as one of
the presets. Select the preset for the bobbin thread
you are using and press the
New Bobbin
button.
This transfers the bobbin capacity for that thread to
the Capacity box and the remaining Bobbin Thread
box. Then press the
Alarm
button.

As you quilt, the remaining bobbin thread value
decreases to show how much thread remains on
the current bobbin. When it reaches zero, an alarm
will sound warning you that your bobbin is nearly
out of thread.
The Main Screen displays the amount of thread left
on the bobbin next to the bobbin button. When it
gets to zero, the alarm sounds.

NOTE
: When operating in Manual mode, the low bobbin function assumes you will stitch at
approximately the last SPI setting you had on the regulated screen. If the SPI setting was below
8 stitches per inch, the function will assume you will quilt at 10 stitches per inch. It is advisable
therefore to set the stitches per inch that you will be quilting on the regulated screen before you
change to manual mode.
Low-Bobbin Alarm Presets
You can store three Low-Bobbin Alarm preset values – one for each of three different types of thread.
Simply go through the record process with a full bobbin of that type of thread and then store the capacity
as a preset. When you switch to using that type of thread, press appropriate preset button. Insert a full
bobbin with that type of thread, press
New Bobbin
, and all of the settings will be based on that type
of thread.
