4. Insert the thread into the slot in the bobbin case.
5. Lift the presser foot lever
6. Hold onto the upper thread and turn the handwheel

The needle
remove the lower thread from the bobbin case when the needle is pulled
out.
7. When this loop has been created, slightly pull on the upper thread and
remove the end of the lower thread with a needle or scissors.
The bobbin thread should now be pulled through the small hole in the
throat plate.
8. Put together both thread ends and pull them out approx. 6" (15 cm). Then
guide them back under the presser foot.
9. Slide the bobbin case cover back onto the bobbin case.
Adjusting the thread tension
If the thread breaks while sewing, it means the thread tension is too high.
If small loops form while sewing, it means the thread tension is too low. The
thread tension must be adjusted in both cases. The upper thread and lower
thread tension must be proportional to each other.
The tension must also be different for different fabrics. The required tension
depends on the fabric's strength and thickness as well as on how many layers
of fabric are to be sewn.
We recommend that you test the stitching on a piece of fabric every time before
sewing.
− Turn the tension regulator for the upper thread
reduce the tension.
A higher tension is required for the upper thread in the case of light fabrics. If
the stitches are too loose, it means the upper thread tension is set too low.
− Turn the tension regulator for the upper thread clockwise to increase the
tension.
The bobbin thread tension cannot be adjusted.
