RAISING THE BOBBIN THREAD

Before you start to sew, it will be necessary to draw up the bobbin thread. Raise the presser foot lifter.

Holding the needle thread loosely with your left hand, turn the hand wheel toward you (counter-clockwise) with your right hand, first lowering the needle and continuing until the needle comes to its highest position.

Lightly pull up the top thread, and pick up the bobbin thread, which will appear through the needle plate slot.

Pull both the top and bobbin thread together toward the back of the machine, under the presser foot, leaving about 6” clear.

Replace the bobbin cover plate.

CHOOSING A STITCH PATTERN

The Pattern Selector Dial is used to select the stitch you want to sew. The numbers on the dial directly correspond to the display on the front of the machine. Simply turn the dial until the number of the stitch that you want to sew lines up with the red dot marking above the dial.
