2. Wrap the thread two to three times around the index finger of the opposite hand and attempt to lift
the bobbin up by the thread. The bobbin case should stand up on its side, and slightly lift out of your
hand. If the bobbin will not stand up on its side, the bobbin tension is too loose. If it lifts completely out
of your hand and hangs by the thread, the bobbin tension is too tight.
To adjust the bobbin tension
• Make the adjustment using the screw in the
center of the tension spring. (The larger of
the 2 screws) Turn clockwise to tighten and
counterclockwise to loosen the tension. Make
tiny adjustments to the bobbin tension and
test again.
To insert the bobbin case into the machine
1. Move the needle to the up position. Turn off the power to the machine using the front button.
2. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the thread pulls off clockwise when viewing the
open side.
3. Slide the thread through the slot and under the tension spring, leaving 5 to 6 inches of thread
hanging loose.
4. To fit the bobbin case onto the hook spindle
in the machine, orient the bobbin case as
shown in the photo with alignment notch to
the right. Push the bobbin case inward until it
clicks into place.
 NOTE: Do not insert the bobbin case into the machine by lifting the lever on bobbin case. Use the
lever only for removing the bobbin case.
