installed. Otherwise, the needle may break.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
i
Insert the tabs on the needle plate cover
into the needle plate, and then slide the
cover back on.
Note
• Never use a bobbin case that is scratched;
otherwise, the upper thread may become
tangled, the needle may break, or sewing
performance may suffer. For a new bobbin
case (part code: XC3153-251 (green
marking on the screw), XC8167-451 (no
color on the screw)), contact your nearest
authorized retailer.
• If the needle plate has been removed it is
especially important to reinstall the needle
plate and tighten the screws prior to
installing the bobbin case.

Cleaning the Bobbin Case

Thread wax and dust easily collect around the
notch in the tension spring on the bobbin case,
resulting in an incorrect thread tension. Therefore,
the bobbin case should be cleaned as necessary
should tension problems arise.
When cleaning the bobbin case, use card stock or
another type of paper of similar thickness and
sturdiness in order to prevent pieces of paper
tearing off and getting lodged in the bobbin case.
