Bobbin Chamber

2.

Move the Needle to the upward position by turning the Hand Wheel towards you.

3.

Remove the Black Bobbin Holder and place the metal Bobbin inside. 

See Figure 8.

The position of the Bobbin’s threading should be in a counterclockwise configuration when
placed in the holder. 

Note:

 The loose end of the thread should be hanging to the left of

the Bobbin.

4.

Pull the thread out approximately 6 inches.

5.

Slide the thread behind the “Notch”  in the Bobbin Holder as shown in

6.

Place the Bobbin Holder back into the Sewing Machine,
allowing the thread to remain in the Bobbin Chamber
but making sure that the thread is still secure in the
Bobbin Holder “Notch”. 

Figure 10.

7.

The bottom threading is now complete. Top and bottom
threading is critical to the operation of the Mini Sewing
Machine. The machine was pre-threaded correctly at
the factory. If you followed the above directions, it
should mimic the threading done by the factory. If you
find that this is not the case, try again to re-thread the
machine using the previous steps. With practice thread-
ing will become easier.

8.

If knotting occurs, try re-threading top and bottom
threading instructions.
