Creating Bobbin Work

Positioning the Fabric and Sewing

Note
• Recommended stitches for bobbin work are open
"airy" type stitches.
• Be sure to sew trial stitches using same fabric and
threads as your project in order to check the sewing
results.
• The bobbin thread may become tangled due to the
type of pattern and thread that are being used. Since
this may cause the needle to break, immediately
stop sewing if this occurs. Turn off the machine and
cut out the tangled thread with scissors. Then, clean
the race and bobbin case as described in "Preparing
the Bobbin Thread" on page 21.

Place stabilizer on top (wrong side) of the
fabric.
Note
• Type and weight of stabilizer will depend on fabric
and thread being used.
b
If thread is too thick to pull through fabric to
machine surface use an awl to punch a small
hole in the fabric at the beginning of stitching
so the bobbin thread can be fed through the
opening.
c
Use the presser foot lever to raise the presser
foot.
d
With the wrong side facing up, place the
fabric with stabilizer under the presser foot.

Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) to feed the needle into the
fabric or punched hole. Position the upper
thread over the presser foot and lightly hold
then, lower the presser foot lever.

Pulling the upper thread gently, turn the
handwheel toward you (counterclockwise)
until the mark on the handwheel aligns with
the center top of machine.
→ A loop of the bobbin thread comes up through the
hole in the fabric.
Note
• If the bobbin thread does not come up, hold the
upper thread as shown below to pull up the bobbin
thread.
