■ Embroidery Needle Plate Cover

Under some conditions, based on the type of fabric,
stabilizer, or thread being used, there may be some
looping in the upper thread. In this case, attach the
included embroidery needle plate cover to the
needle plate. Attach the cover by inserting the two
projections on the underside of the cover into the
notches on the needle plate as shown below.
a Groove
b Projection
c Notch
To remove the embroidery needle plate cover, place
your fingernail in the groove and lift the plate out.
CAUTION
• Push the embroidery needle plate cover as far
as possible to attach it. If the embroidery
needle plate cover is not securely attached, it
may cause the needle to break.
Note
• Do not use the embroidery needle plate
cover for any applications other than embroi-
dery.

Using Prewound Bobbins

When using a prewound bobbin, not included
with this machine, set the bobbin by following the
steps below.
■ Using Prewound Bobbins with
Standard Bobbin Case (Green
Marking on the Screw)
Use the standard bobbin case (green marking on the
screw) when embroidering with the recommended
bobbin thread wound on included bobbins. When
using prewound bobbins (not included with this
machine) it is recommended to use prewound
COATS "L" type with the standard bobbin case. (see

"Using Bobbin Center Pin (Spacer)".)

SEWING AN EMBROIDERY PATTERN
■ Using Prewound Bobbins with
Alternate Bobbin Case (No Color on
the Screw)
Use the alternate bobbin case (no color on the
screw) when a tighter bobbin tension is needed. See
page 312 for how to remove the bobbin case.
Note
• The bobbin thread sensor does not work
when prewound bobbins with a center core
are used.
• Due to coating on prewound bobbin thread,
the bobbin case may require cleaning occa-
sionally. See "Cleaning the Bobbin Case" on
page 313.
■ Using Bobbin Center Pin (Spacer)
The bobbin center pin (spacer) can be used with
either the standard or alternate bobbin cases. Use
the bobbin center pin (spacer) for better thread flow,
bobbin stability and to provide the correct height for
prewound bobbins in the bobbin case.
CAUTION
• Do not use included bobbin or class 15 type
bobbins with the bobbin center pin spacer.
These bobbins are too deep and will damage
the bobbin area of the machine.
