Inserting the Bobbin
Note: Turn off the power switch while inserting the bobbin
case or anytime your hands are near the needle area.
1. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the thread
pulls off clockwise when viewing the open side
(Figure 13).
2. Slide the thread through the slot (Figure 14) and under
the tension spring leaving 5-6 inches of thread hanging
loose (Figures 14 and 15).

NOTE See “HQ Quilting Machines Getting Started” DVD
(included with your machine) for videos showing adjusting
bobbin tension and other tips. These videos are also
available on www.HandiQuilter.com.
3. 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 (see Figure 16). 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.
