aLower side of fabric

bLower thread visible from upper side of fabric

cUpper thread

dUpper side of fabric

eLower thread

■Cause

Incorrect lower threading

If the lower thread is incorrectly threaded, instead of the appropriate tension being applied to the lower thread, it is pulled through the fabric when the upper thread is pulled up. For this reason, the thread is visible from the upper side of the fabric.

■Remedy/check details

Correctly install the lower thread.

aTurn off the sewing machine.

bRemove the bobbin from the bobbin case.

cPlace the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the thread unwinds in the correct direction.

•Hold the bobbin with your right hand with the thread unwinding to the left, and hold the end of the thread with your left hand.

Then, with your right hand, place the bobbin in the bobbin case.

If the bobbin is inserted with the thread unwinding in the wrong direction, sewing will be done with an incorrect thread tension.
