You can begin sewing immediately without pulling up the
bobbin thread by simply inserting the bobbin in the bobbin
case and guiding the thread through the slit in the needle
plate cover.

The screen changes, and all keys and operation
buttons are locked (except ).
d
Raise the presser foot lever.
e
Slide the bobbin cover latch to the right and remove
the bobbin cover.
f
Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case so that the
thread unwinds to the left.
g
Lightly hold down the bobbin with your right hand

tab of the needle plate cover with your left hand (2).
Memo
• If the threads will be pulled to create gathers or the
thread at the beginning of sewing will be finished,
for example, when free motion quilting, first pull up
the bobbin thread.
For details, refer to “Pulling up the bobbin thread”
on page 26.
CAUTION
• Use a bobbin that has been correctly wound
with thread, otherwise there is a risk of poor
thread tension or injury due to the needle
breaking.
• Before inserting or changing the bobbin, be
sure that you have touched on the
operation panel to lock all keys and buttons,
otherwise injuries may occur if the “Start/
Stop” button or any other button is pressed
and the machine starts.
Memo
• For the correct winding direction of the bobbin
thread, be sure to place the bobbin into the bobbin
case in the same orientation that it was on the
bobbin winder shaft.
The “b” mark on one side of the bobbin included
with this machine can be used as a reference.

Note
• Be sure to hold down the bobbin with your finger
and unwind the bobbin thread correctly, otherwise
the thread may break or the thread tension will be
incorrect.
