• Be sure to complete the bobbin threading correctly
according to these instructions. If the thread is simply
placed in the slit in the needle plate cover, the bobbin
thread will not be correctly threaded, resulting in poor
sewing performance or incorrect thread tension.
• You can begin sewing without pulling up the bobbin
thread. If you wish to pull up the bobbin thread before
starting to sew, pull up the thread according to the
procedure in “Pulling up the bobbin thread” on page 20.
Upper Threading
• When threading the upper thread, carefully
follow the instructions. If the upper threading
is not correct, the thread may become tangled
or the needle may bend or break.
• Never use a thread weight of 20 or lower.
• Use the needle and the thread in the correct
combination. For details on the correct
combination of needles and threads, refer to
“Fabric/Thread/Needle Combinations” on
page 21.
• If the presser foot is not raised, the machine cannot be
threaded.
