THREADING YOUR SIMPLICITY SEWING MACHINE

For best sewing results, use a top quality, long staple, polyester or poly/cotton thread for all-purpose sewing. Skipped stitches, broken threads, and poor stitch quality are often a result of using old or inferior thread. Use the same type of thread for both upper and lower threading for a consistent stitch quality.

 

 

 

 

WINDING THE BOBBIN

1.

To release the clutch for bobbin winding, pull out the

 

 

 

 

handwheel until it clicks [Fig. 1].

2.

Place a spool of thread on the spool pin and bring

 

 

 

 

the thread around the bobbin winding tension disc as

 

 

 

 

shown [Fig. 2].

 

 

3.

Place the thread end through a small hole in the bobbin

Fig. 1

from the inside to the outside [Fig. 3].

4.

Place the bobbin on the bobbinwinder spindle

 

 

 

 

matching the small groove on the bobbin with the

 

 

 

 

spring on the spindle [Fig. 4]. Push the spindle to

 

 

 

 

the right [Fig. 5].

5.

Hold the end of the thread [Fig. 6] and depress the

 

 

 

 

foot control [Fig. 7]. When the thread has wound on

 

 

 

 

the bobbin several times, stop the machine and clip

 

 

 

 

the thread end close to the hole in the bobbin [Fig. 8].
