• To remove the bobbin from the bobbin case:

t	r	Release the latch, then drop the bobbin t out of
		the bobbin case as illustrated.
		Note: Spring in Bobbin Case

On close observation inside the bobbin case you will see a thin metal spring at the back of the bobbin case. (See illustration)

This spring allows the bobbin in the bobbin case to feed smoothly at high speeds. When cleaning the inside of the bobbin case area from lint, be careful to not dislodge the spring.

If spring does come out simply push carefully back into its original position.

Positioning Thread Spools

			q Spool of thread
		e	w Spool pin
			e Spool cap
	q		Positioning thread spools:
			Place a spool of thread q on the spool pin w
			with the thread coming off the spool counter clockwise.
w			Attach the spool cap e, and press it snug against

r Spool holder t Net

		Positioning thread on spool cones:
		Some threads are wound onto cones. Use the spool
		holders to help prevent the thread cones from tipping
		side to side. If the thread cone tips, the result could be
		uneven feeding of the thread. Place the spool holder
	t	r on the spool pin, then place the thread cone on the
		spool holder.
r
		Cover the thread cone with the thread net t to help
		prevent the thread from pooling around the bottom while
		sewing.
