Bobbin winding starts. [Start] changes to [Stop]
while the bobbin is winding. The bobbin stops
rotating when bobbin winding is completed. The
bobbin winding switch will automatically return to
its original position.
9 After bobbin winding is finished, cut the
thread and remove the bobbin.
• Be sure to wind the thread clockwise around
the bobbin, otherwise the thread may become
wrapped around the bobbin winder shaft.
CAUTION
• Be sure to cut the thread as described. If the bobbin is
wound without cutting the thread using the cutter built
into the guide slit in the bobbin winder seat, the thread
may become tangled in the bobbin or the needle may
break and cause injury when the bobbin thread starts to
run out.
• Use the bobbin winding slider to adjust the
amount of thread wound onto the bobbin to
one of five levels.

• Touch [OK] to minimize the bobbin winding
window. Touch (in top right of the LCD
screen) to display the bobbin winding window
again.
• The sound of winding the bobbin with stiff
thread, such as nylon thread for quilting, may
be different from the one produced when
winding normal thread; however, this is not a
sign of a malfunction.
IMPORTANT
• For stretchable thread such as transparent nylon thread,
start winding the bobbin at low speed, then stop when it
is about half full. Otherwise, the bobbin may not be
wound neatly or may be damaged.
IMPORTANT
• When removing the bobbin, do not pull on the bobbin
winder seat. Doing so could loosen or remove the
bobbin winder seat, and could result in damage to the
machine.
