GETTING READY TO SEW
Winding the Bobbin
→
This machine uses SINGER
®
Class 15 metal bobbins.
Use only this style of bobbin when purchasing additional bobbins for your machine. Do not substitute
with plastic bobbins.
1. Place thread spool and corresponding size
spool holder onto spool pin. Spool holder
should be large enough to cover the end of the
thread spool so thread unreels smoothly. Use
the larger side of the spool cap for big spools
and the smaller side of the cap for small
spools of thread.
2. (A) Slip thread into guide at top of machine.
(B) Place thread snuggly around bobbin
winding tension disk to ensure that thread
winds onto bobbin smoothly and consistently.
(C) Thread bobbin as shown, then place it onto
the bobbin winding spindle.
3. Check that bobbin is pushed down rmly (A).
If it is not, the thread could begin winding
under the bobbin. Push the bobbin and spindle
rmly to the right (B).
4. Hold the thread end to get ready to wind.
Step on the foot control gently as you hold the
thread end. Allow it to wind a few revolutions
slowly, then remove your foot from the foot
control to stop.
5. Trim the thread end close to the top of the
bobbin, then resume winding by stepping on
the foot control.
6. The bobbin will stop winding when it is full. Lift
your foot off the foot control. Push the bobbin
to the left (A), then trim the thread and remove
the bobbin from the spindle (B).
