Winding/Installing the Bobbin
12
Winding the bobbin
This section describes how to wind thread onto a bobbin.
a
Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft so that the
notch in the bobbin aligns with the spring on the shaft,
and then slide the bobbin winder shaft to the right until
it snaps into place.
b
Remove the spool cap and place the spool of thread for
the bobbin onto the spool pin.
Slide the spool onto the spool pin so that the thread
unwinds to the front from the bottom. Otherwise the
thread may become tangled around the spool pin.

c
Slide the spool cap onto the spool pin.
Slide the spool cap as far as possible to the right, as
shown, with the rounded side on the left.
Winding/Installing the Bobbin
CAUTION
• Only use the plastic bobbin that comes with
this machine or bobbins of the same type
(SA156/SFB: XA5539-151/SFB). The bobbin's
height is 11.5 mm (approx. 7/16 inch). Using
other bobbins may cause damage to the
machine. SA156 is Class 15 type bobbin.
• Bobbins previously manufactured may not
have the “b” mark on the bobbin. However,
they can be used with this machine if they are
the same type (SA156/SFB: XA5539-151/SFB).

Memo
• Checking the installation orientation of the bobbin will
be helpful in later procedures. By placing the bobbin
into the bobbin case in the same orientation that it was
on the bobbin winder shaft, the bobbin can be installed
with the correct winding direction of the bobbin thread.
The “b” mark on one side of the bobbin included with
this machine can be used as a reference.

CAUTION
• If the spool or the spool cap is not installed
correctly, the thread may become tangled
around the spool pin, causing the needle to
break.
• Three spool cap sizes are available, allowing
you to choose a spool cap that best fits the size
of spool being used. If the spool cap is too
small for the spool being used, the thread may
catch on the slit in the spool or the machine
may be damaged.
For more information, refer to “Memo” on
page 12.
Memo
• When using the spool as shown below, use the small
spool cap, and leave a small space between the cap
and the spool.
• When using thread that winds off quickly, such as
transparent nylon thread or metallic thread, place the
spool net over the spool before placing the spool of
thread onto the spool pin.
If the spool net is too long, fold it to fit the size of the
spool.
