■Quick-set Bobbin Threading

This is only available on certain models. 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.

1Pass 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.

2Draw up the lower thread as described in the previous steps 1 to 3.

3Replace the bobbin cover.

Sewing with a Twin Needle

We have designed your machine so you can sew with this needle and two top threads. You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches.

CAUTION

●Use only twin needles that have been made for this machine (part code: X57521-021). Other needles could break and damage the machine.

●When using the twin needle, make sure the stitch width is not set above 3 since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break.

●Make sure that the needle does not strike the presser foot.

●Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and injure you.

●When using the twin needle, make sure you use the zigzag presser foot only.
