4Put the bobbin in so the thread comes out in the direction shown by the arrow.

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.

5Hold the end of the thread, push the bobbin down with your finger, and then pass the thread through the slit, as shown.

•If the thread is not correctly inserted through the tension-adjusting spring of the bobbin case, it may cause incorrect thread tension.
