WINDING THE BOBBIN
1. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin,
and secure it with the spool pin cap. Pull
the thread out from the spool and place it
through thread guides as shown in illustra-
tion. It is very important to make sure the
thread is pulled snuggly into the bobbin
winding tension disk, or the bobbin will not
wind properly.
2. Put end of thread through the hole in bob-
bin as shown.
3. Push bobbin winding spindle to far left
position, if it is not already there. Place
bobbin onto the bobbin winding spindle
with end of thread coming from top of
bobbin. Push bobbin winding spindle to the
right until it clicks. Hold onto end of thread.
4. Start machine. Bobbin will automatically
stop turning when completely lled. Push
the bobbin winding spindle to the left to
remove bobbin and cut thread.
