CAUTION

●Make sure you set the bobbin so the thread unrolls in the correct direction. If the thread unrolls in the wrong direction, it may cause the thread tension to be incorrect or break the needle.

4Holding the bobbin case by the latch, fully insert the bobbin case into the shuttle race and release the latch. Make sure the bobbin case finger fits into the notch at the top of the race.

Note

●If the bobbin case is not properly placed back into the machine, it will fall out from the shuttle immediately after you start sewing.

CAUTION

●To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts, be sure to turn off the machine before servicing it. In addition, be sure to close the shuttle cover.
