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 GREEN Marked Bobbin Case
Use the standard GREEN marked bobbin case
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
GREEN marked bobbin case. (See "Using
Bobbin Center Pin (Spacer)".)
■ Using Prewound Bobbins with
Alternate PINK Marked Bobbin Case
Use the alternate bobbin case (pink marking)
when a tighter bobbin tension is needed.
For replacing the bobbin case, see page of
"CARE AND MAINTENANCE" in the operation
manual.
Memo
Some models do not include the alternate
bobbin case (pink marking).
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 occasionally.
■ Using Bobbin Center Pin (Spacer)
The bobbin center pin (spacer) can be used
with either the GREEN or PINK marked 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.
