Note
• When winding transparent nylon thread on the
bobbin, stop bobbin winding when the bobbin is
1/2 to 2/3 full.

stitches or possible breakage to bobbin.

When the foot controller is plugged in, remove your

Installing the bobbin

Install the bobbin wound with thread.
You can begin sewing immediately without pulling up the
bobbin thread by simply inserting the bobbin in the bobbin
case and guiding the thread through the slit in the needle
plate cover.
Memo
• For details on sewing after pulling up the bobbin
thread, for example, when making gathers or with
free motion quilting, refer to "Pulling up the
bobbin thread" on page B-27.
CAUTION
• Use a bobbin that has been correctly wound
with thread, otherwise the needle may break
or the thread tension will be incorrect.
• Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be
sure to press on the operation panel to
lock all keys and buttons, otherwise injuries
may occur if the "Start/Stop" button or any
other button is pressed and the machine starts.
