other decorative threads, use the thread cutter on the
side of the machine.

This machine is equipped with a bobbin thread sensor
that warns you when the bobbin thread is almost

machine stops automatically and a message appears
in the screen. When this message appears, change
the bobbin with one full of thread. However, if the
"Start/Stop" button is pressed, a few stitches can be
sewn.
