Winding the bobbin and lower thread setting:

Use bobbin:

Only you should use the bobbin that had planned for your sewing machine. The application of bobbins from older models may cause damage to the sewing machine.

Spool of thread set:

You need to raise the spool pin completely up and enter the spool of thread into the spool pin for the bobbin.

Thread guide setting:

In this time, you have to pull the thread into the thread guide. Moreover, you need to hook the thread from the front to back around the prentice discs correctly.

Bobbin winder setting:

You need to pull the thread’s end through the bobbin hole from inside’s bobbin. Moreover, You need to attach the bobbin to the bobbin winder shaft and move the shaft to the right. You need to keep the bobbin on until the position is right.

How to wrap the thread in the bobbin:

Now, you should turn the main power switch while gently holding thread from the bobbin. Moreover, you need to press the foot controller lightly. Line the thread around the bobbin a few minutes and then pause the machine. Next, you need to trim the extra thread on top of the bobbin with scissors. Ensure you skip the extra thread only before turning the bobbin.

Now, turn the thread again through keeping the foot controller down wholly. When the bobbin is complete, the bobbin begins to turn gradually. You should remove your foot from the foot controller to pause the machine. You need to cut the thread with a scissor. Now, stop the winder shaft of the bobbin to the left and dislodge the bobbin.

Lower thread setting:

Firstly, Before setting the lower thread, turn off the main power switch. Now, raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you and raise the presser foot lever. The position is correct when the mark on the handwheel points directly up. Simultaneously, remove the bulb and cover by sliding it toward you and put the bobbin in so that thread comes out from the left side.

Next, you need to hold the end of the thread with your left hand. Now, push the bobbin down lightly with your right hand and then pass the thread through the slit. So, ensure the thread is correctly entered through the tension setting spring of the bobbin case. Now, replace the bobbin cover. Finally, you have completed the setting of the lower thread.

Now, you need to pull up the spool pin entirely and then enter the spool thread for the upper thread so that the end of the thread comes out easily.

How to pass the thread from thread guide:

After completing the thread setting in the spool pin, now keep holding the thread from the spool using both hands. Pass the thread to the thread guide groove from the back to the front to come out toward you.

How to pass the thread from the take-up lever:

Then, catch the thread with your right hands and use your left hand to turn the thread along with the groove guide. Make sure you enter the thread through the thread take-up lever from right to left.
