Winding Through the Needle
Make sure the presser foot is raised and the needle is in its
highest position.
Note: Use a metal presser foot when bobbin winding from the needle.
Pull the thread from the needle under the presser foot and to
the right through the thread guide (A).
Follow step 4–6 under Winding From Horizontal Position.
Inserting the Bobbin
Make sure the needle is fully raised and the machine is turned
off before inserting or removing the bobbin.
1. Open the bobbin cover by pushing the release button to
the right (A). Remove the cover (B).
2. Insert the bobbin in the bobbin case with the thread
running in a counterclockwise direction.
3. With a finger held gently on top of the bobbin, pull the
thread into notch (C). Then pull the thread at arrow
markings into the needle plate thread guide from (C) to
(D). Pull the thread at the arrow markings into the needle
plate thread guide from (D) to (E). To cut off excess
thread, pull thread to the right, over the blade (E).
4. Replace the bobbin cover.
Thread Tension
Correct tension
For the best stitch appearance and durability, make sure the
needle thread tension is correctly adjusted, i.e. for general
sewing, the threads evenly meet between the two fabric
layers. Your sewing machine electronically sets the thread
tension for the selected stitch. Depending on the fabric,
batting, thread etc, the tension may need to be adjusted. See
page 29 for instructions on how to change the setting
manually.
Tension too tight
If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric,
the needle thread tension is too tight. Reduce the needle
thread tension.
Tension too loose
If top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, the
needle thread tension is too loose. Increase the needle thread
tension.
For decorative stitches and buttonholes, the top thread
should be visible on the underside of the fabric.
