3Put the bobbin in so the thread comes out in the direction shown by the arrow.

•Only use bobbins that were designed to be used with this machine.

CAUTION

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

•Make sure that the thread is correctly inserted through the tension-adjusting spring of the bobbin case. If it is not inserted, re- insert the thread.
