Caution

Make sure you set the bobbin so the thread unrolls in the right direction.
If the thread unrolls in the wrong direction, it may cause the thread tension to be incorrect or break the needle.
While lightly holding down the bobbin with your right hand as shown, guide the thread through the slit (     and     ).
Then, pull the thread toward you to cut it with the cutter (    ).
At this time, check that the bobbin easily rotates counterclockwise.

Caution

If the thread is not correctly inserted through the tension-adjusting spring of the bobbin case, it may cause incorrect thread tension.

Replace the bobbin cover.
Put the left tab in place (see arrow ), and then press lightly on the right side (see arrow ) until the cover clicks into place.

Note

You can begin sewing immediately without drawing up the bobbin thread.
If you want to draw up the bobbin thread before you start to sew, follow to the procedure in "Drawing up the lower thread by hand".
