■For models equipped with a quick-set bobbin

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.

1Remove the bobbin cover, and then reinstall the bobbin.

2Pass 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.

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

4Replace the bobbin cover.
