THREADING YOUR SIMPLICITY SEWING MACHINE

LOWER THREADING

Removing the bobbin from the bobbin case:
1. Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the needle to
its highest position.
2. Remove the free-arm cover and open the bobbin
cover [Fig. 1].
3. Open the hinged latch of the bobbin case and pull
the bobbin case out of the machine [Fig. 2].
4. Release the latch to remove the bobbin [Fig. 3].
Inserting a new bobbin:
1. Hold the bobbin case in your left hand. Hold the filled
bobbin in your right hand [Fig. 4]. Unwind about six
inches of thread, making certain the thread unwinds
over the top of the bobbin as illustrated. Place the
bobbin in the bobbin case.
2. With the bobbin in the bobbin case, pull the thread
into the slot on the edge of the bobbin case [Fig. 5].
3. Pull the thread under the tension spring and into the
thread outlet [Fig. 6]. Leave about six inches of
thread extending from the bobbin case.
Note: It's important to be sure the bobbin is turning
CLOCKWISE [Fig. 7] as you pull thread from the bobbin
case. If it is turning counterclockwise, remove the bobbin
from the case, turn the bobbin over, place it back into the
case, and rethread the bobbin case.
Placing the bobbin case into the shuttle:
1. Open the latch of the bobbin case and hold it with the
long finger pointing upward [Fig. 8]. Place the bobbin
case over the pin of the shuttle aligning the long finger
with the notch at the top of the shuttle [Fig. 9].
2. Release the latch and push the bobbin case firmly
into place [Fig. 10]. Close the bobbin cover.
Note: Be sure the bobbin thread (about six inches) falls
loose from the bobbin case and is not caught or tangled
in any way.
