While holding the end of the upper thread, raise
the needle either by turning the handwheel
toward you (counterclockwise) so that the mark
on the wheel points up or by pressing
(needle position button) (for models equipped
with the needle position button) once or twice.
c
Pull on the upper thread to draw up the lower
thread.
d
Pull out about 10 cm (4 inches) of both threads
and pull them toward the back of the machine
under the presser foot.
■ For models equipped with the quick-set
bobbin
You can begin sewing immediately without drawing
up the bobbin thread. When sewing gathers or
darts, you can draw up the lower thread by hand so
that some thread will be left over. Before you draw
up the lower thread, put the bobbin back in.
a
Pass the thread along the slit in the direction of
the arrow, and leave it there without cutting it.
• The bobbin cover should still be removed.
b
Draw up the lower thread as described in steps
1 to 4.
c
Replace the bobbin cover.
