REMOVING AND INSERTING THE BOBBIN
1. Lift the needle bar to its highest point, place the feed dog at this side in its
travel turning the machine pulley, and open the slide plate (A, Fig. 2) .
2. Pass left hand under table into opening on drip pan. With left thumb and
index finger, open the hinged latch (C, Fig. 4). And pull bobbin case and bob-
bin from rotary hook. While the latch is held open, the bobbin will be retain-
ed in the bobbin case. Release of the latch and turning of the open side of the
bobbin case downward will cause the bobbin to drop out.
3. Hold the bobbin between the thumb and the forefinger of your right hand and
pull out a length of about 5cm of thread. Holding the bobbin case in your
left hand turn the open side up and place the threaded bobbin into it. (Fig. 9)
4. With the right hand guide the thread into the slot in the edge of the bobbin
case. Then pull the thread to the left, under the tension spring «D, Fig. 9) and
into the delivery eye. In order to keep the bobbin from dropping out of the
case when it is turned with the open side down, always keep the hinged latch
(C, Fig. 4) at the front of the bobbin case open.
5. Take the threaded bobbin case by the latch (C, Fig. 4) and place it on the
center stud of the bobbin case holder. Release latch and press bobbin case on
to center stud until the latch catches the undercut thereon with a click that
can be heard. Permit about 5cm of bobbin thread to hand down freely. Be
sure to push the slide plate to the right before starting to sew.
