1. Press the Release Button (BB) on the rear of the machine to unlatch the Bobbin
Compartment Cover (P).
2. Remove cover. Next, remove the Bobbin (V).
3. Place the bobbin with thread of your choice in the Bobbin Compartment (O) leaving
about 5 inches of thread extended directly out from the Bobbin Compartment.
4. Hold on to approximately 10 inches of the top thread that has been thr eaded
through the Needle (R).
5. Turn Hand Wheel (D) counterclockwise (toward you). The Needle (R) will descend,
picking up the bobbin thread. Turn Hand Wheel until Needle has descended
completely, and then ascends to its highest raised point. Continue to hold the top
thread with one hand while turning the Hand Wheel with the other. Do this until the
top thread catches the bobbin thread and brings it to the top.
6. Pull the two threads toward the rear (away from you) and lay them under the
Presser Foot (Q).
7. Snap the Bobbin Compartment Cover (P) down and back into place.
Note: It is essential that threading both top and bottom be done properly. Check
carefully and try one practice stitch before starting to sew. Improper threading will
damage the lockstitch.
Always remove the Bobbin (V) from the Bobbin Compartment (O) on the machine and
unthread the Needle (R) before winding a new bobbin.
1. Pull up the Thread Spindle (A) and place the Thread Spool (B) on the Thread Spindle.
