• The bobbin case (gray) cannot be used for sewing in
any way other than bobbin work. After sewing
bobbin work, refer back to the steps in “Preparing
the Bobbin Thread” on page 6 for removing and
cleaning the bobbin case (gray), and then reinstall
the standard bobbin case (black).
CAUTION
• Be sure to use the bobbin case (gray) when creating
bobbin work. Using any other bobbin case may
result in the thread becoming tangled or damage to
the machine.
• Make sure that the bobbin case is correctly
installed. If the bobbin case is incorrectly installed,
the thread may become tangled or the machine may
be damaged.
CAUTION
• Be sure to use the machine’s included bobbin or one
designed specifically for this machine. Using any
other bobbin may result in damage or injuries.
