Preparatory work
Winding thread onto the bobbin
You can use the sewing machine to wind thread on to the bobbins
easily.
− To do so, take the thread from the cotton reel and route it
around the thread guide
3
to the bobbin.
The exact procedure for winding thread on to the bobbin is
described in the following points:
1. Place the cotton reel on the cotton reel holder.
Use the second cotton reel holder when working with fi ne
thread, as instructed in the previous section.
2. Route the thread from the cotton reel around the bobbin
winder thread guide, as illustrated.
3. Feed the end of the thread through the hole in the bobbin, as
illustrated, and wind the thread around the bobbin a few times
by hand.

4. Place the bobbin on the spindle

with the side of the bobbin
containing the end of the thread facing upwards. Move the
bobbin spindle to the right towards the winding stop
7
until
you hear it click into place.
5. Hold on to the end of the thread and press the foot pedal. Once
some thread has been wound on to the bobbin, let go of the
end of the thread. Wind the thread onto the bobbin until the
spindle

stops automatically.
Once the bobbin spindle has been moved to the right, the sewing
mechanism is disabled so that the needle does not move while the
thread is being wound onto the bobbin.
